GE USLT Series

The GE USLT Series is an ultrasonic test system for nondestructive measurement of hardness penetration depths. It is a versatile system that can be used for a variety of applications, including:

  • Production control in hardening shops
  • Incoming inspection within the automotive industry, shipbuilding, aircraft construction, within the general mechanical engineering (for example on hardened camshafts, crankshafts, hydraulic cylinders)

The GE USLT Series is easy to use and provides quick and accurate results. It is a valuable tool for any company that needs to measure hardness penetration depths.

A PLUS for the USLT 2000
The software program EHT is an additional
module for the ultrasonic test system
USLT 2000 that can be easily installed
as an optional „Plug-In“. This additional
software extends the range of functions
of the USLT 2000; new fields of applica-
tion are opened up.
The EHT module (effective hardening
depth) is used for the nondestructive
measurement of hardness penetration
depths of thermally hardened steels.
The method presents numerous benefits:
The aspect of economic efficiency plays
an important part, especially when com-
pared with the conventional destructive
tests. Moreover, the EHT module enables
to carry out quite a large number of
measurements without any problem.

... for nondestructive measurement of hardness penetration depth
The method
The nondestructive determination of hard-
ness penetration depths is carried out
according to the ultrasonic backscatter
method. This method makes use of the
fact that the mean grain size is reduced
by the hardening process.
If an ultrasonic wavelength is selected
which is just a little larger than the grain
size in the hardened area and somewhat
smaller than the grain size in the base
material, scatter indications from the
transition area can be measured - and
consequently also the hardness penetra
-
tion depth.
A quick and easy evaluation is possible
using the EHT software. Firstly, the char
-
acteristic of the scatter indications is
smoothed, and then the hardness pen-
etration depth is recorded on the basis of
the variable threshold value.
The applications
The method works reliably with most of
the thermal hardening methods, for ex
-
ample with flame-hardening and induc-
tive hardening.
The following fields of application are
presented for the EHT module:
• Production control in hardening shops
• Incoming inspection within the auto
-
motive industry, shipbuilding, aircraft
construction, within the general
mechanical engineering (for example
on hardened camshafts, crankshafts,
hydraulic cylinders)
For different applications, the probe
must be adapted to the geometry and the
frequency must be adapted to the micro
-
structure of the material to be tested.
