Benefits of Laser Ultrasonic Testing (LUT)
Noncontact: Lasers generate and detect ultrasound Operates on rough, curved, corroded surfaces Small laser spots enable isolation of individual cracks High bandwidth for accurate depth measurement Small, fiber-delivered measurement head enables
access to confined spaces
Purely optical inspection probe, no electronics

Broad Goals of DOE SBIR
Technical: demonstrate that LUT can measure
the depth profile (depth vs. position) of a stress corrosion crack with acceptable accuracy
Integration: demonstrate a practical means for
delivering and scanning the beams inside a DCSS, in the presence of radiation and heat

Sample 6, Flaw 1
- Apparent notch depth profile is
flat, not curved as drawn above
- Notch is very tight, as indicated
by remnant skimming wave signal over notch
- Measured crack depth of 6.1
mm agrees with stated depth of 6.55 mm.
