Abstract

The literature sources devoted to studies and development of flaw detectors based on the EMA method of exciting and receiving ultrasound pulses are analyzed. A new EMA flaw detector with capabilities comparable with those of state-of-the-art contact ultrasonic flaw detectors is developed on the basis of analysis and studies performed.
