Design and Fabrication of EMAT for Excitation of SAW

SAW 여기를 위한 EMAT의 설계 및 제작에 관한 연구

In this paper, meander line type EMAT(Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducer) has been designed and fabricated with effective properties for detecting flaw existing within one wavelength in depth, and its characteristics have been analyzed. For the purpose of getting effective dynamic and static magnetic intensity, the coil has been arrayed using wire with interval of 0.75 mm and width of 0.65 mm and permanent magnets with 1500 Gauss have been constructed respectively. The center frequency and fractional bandwidth of the fabricated EMAT was 2 MHz and 36% respectively and its impulse response has been measured by non-contacting technique(the distance between the conducting media and the coil was 0.15mm). In the measuring results, it has been shown that Insertion Loss(IL) was 45.46dB and it was good agreement with theoretical result.

본 연구에서는 표면에서 한파장 깊이 이내에 존재하는 결함 검출에 우수한 특성을 나타내는 meander line형 EMAT를 설계, 제작하고 그 특성을 연구분석하였다. 효율적인 동 자기장을 위하여 간격 0.72mm와 폭 0.65mm의 코일을 구성하였으며 정 자기장을 위하여 1500 가우스의 자석군을 구성하였다. 제작된 EMAT는 중심 주파수 2MHz, 비대역폭 36%를 가지며 임펄스응답 특성은 0.15 mm의 비접촉 방법으로 측정되어 이론과 비교되었고 중심 주파수에서의 삽입손실은 45.46 dB로 측정되었다.
