Phased Array Full Matrix Capture

Phased array waveform recording stores raw data from high-frequency probes for later optimization of focusing.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

Phased array technology uses multiple wave probes that work together to create a precise image of an object. Recording the raw data (HF data) from each probe allows later optimization of the ultrasound image focus.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

This technique improves the accuracy and quality of NDT inspections. However, faulty recording can lead to inaccurate images, making it harder to detect flaws or cracks.

Shop Practice & Instructions

Make sure the HF data is recorded correctly. Use a stable ultrasonic machine for best results and perform the recording in a quiet environment.
