对于PCRT异常值筛选,涵盖PCRT排序模块的开发和应用,该模块在单个时间点检查零件。这些方法使用从测试零件记录的共振频谱,并执行不同的统计分析,以将测试零件与参考总体进行比较。
这些比较包括并必须补偿任何零件群中存在的正常几何、材料和加工变化。然而,在许多应用中,用户可能需要评估单个处理步骤或服务负载的影响,与其他变化源隔离。例如,制造商可能希望对热处理或硬化过程进行过程监控。维修人员可能希望评估发动机中服务周期的影响。PCRT PTI检查测量零件在两个时间点的共振频谱,例如制造工艺步骤之前和之后,并计算共振频率的变化,以评估干预工艺的效果。
可以在频率变化上设置控制限值,以实现PTI通过/失败检查能力。这些限制可能基于具有可接受和不可接受变化水平的零件的训练总体、零件变化影响的模型预测,或来自过程控制实践的标准。可通过PCRT PTI检查评估的制造过程和在役载荷包括但不限于热处理、热等静压(HIP)、喷丸、感应硬化、渗碳、涂层、热历史变化、残余应力变化、蠕变、塑性变形、腐蚀和疲劳。本规程适用于能够在声学或超声波频率范围内或两者中激励、测量、记录和分析多个全身机械振动共振频率的仪器。

约束和限制:

1.1
This practice covers a general procedure for using the Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) via swept sine input method to perform Part-to-Itself (PTI) examination on populations of newly manufactured and in-service parts. PCRT detects resonance pattern differences in metallic and non-metallic parts. Practice
E2534
for Defect Detection with PCRT and Practice
E3081
for Outlier Screening with PCRT cover the development and application of PCRT sorting modules that inspect a part at a single point in time. These methods use the resonance frequency spectra recorded from test parts and perform different statistical analyses to compare test parts to reference populations. These comparisons include, and must compensate for, the normal geometric, material, and processing variations present in any population of parts. In many applications, however, the user may need to evaluate the effects of a single processing step or in-service load in isolation from other sources of variation. For example, a manufacturer may want to perform process monitoring and control on a heat treatment or hardening process. A maintainer may want to evaluate the effect of service cycles in an engine. A PCRT PTI examination measures the resonance frequency spectrum of a part at two points in time, such as before and after a manufacturing process step, and calculates the change in resonance frequencies to evaluate the effect of the intervening process. Control limits can be set on the frequency change to field a PTI PASS/FAIL inspection capability. The limits may be based on training populations of parts with acceptable and unacceptable levels of change, model predictions of the effects of part changes, or criteria derived from process control practices. Manufacturing processes and in-service loads that can be evaluated with a PCRT PTI inspection include, but are not limited to heat treatment, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), shot peening, induction hardening, carburization, coating, thermal history changes, residual stress changes, creep, plastic deformation, corrosion, and fatigue. This practice is intended for use with instruments capable of exciting, measuring, recording, and analyzing multiple, whole body, mechanical vibration resonance frequencies in acoustic or ultrasonic frequency ranges, or both.

5.2
General Approach and Equipment Requirements for PCRT via Swept Sine Input:
5.2.1
PCRT systems comprise hardware and software capable of inducing vibrations, recording the component response to the induced vibrations, and analyzing the data collected. Inputting a swept sine wave into the part has proven to be an effective means of introducing mechanical vibration and can be achieved with a high-quality signal generator coupled with an appropriate active transducer in physical contact with the part. Collection of the part’s resonance response is achieved by recording the signal received by an appropriate passive vibration transducer. The software required to analyze the available data may include a variety of suitable statistical analysis and pattern recognition tools. Measurement accuracy and repeatability are extremely important to the application of PCRT.
5.2.2
Hardware Requirements—
A swept sine wave signal generator and response measurement system operating over the desired frequency range of the test part are required with accuracy better than 0.002 %. The signal generator should be calibrated to applicable industry standards. Transducers must be operable over same frequency range. Three transducers are typically used; one
Drive
transducer and two
Receive
transducers. Transducers typically operate in a dry environment, providing direct contact coupling to the part under examination. However, noncontacting response methods can operate suitably when parts are wet or oil-coated. Other than fixturing and transducer contact, no other contact with the part is allowed as these mechanical forces dampen certain vibrations. For optimal examination, parts should be placed precisely on the transducers (generally, ±0.062 in. (1.6 mm) in each axis provides acceptable results). The examination nest and cabling shall isolate the
Drive
from
Receive
signals and ground returns, so as to not produce (mechanical or electrical)
cross talk
between channels. Excessive external vibration or audible noise, or both, will compromise the measurements.
5.3
Constraints and Limitations:
5.3.1
PCRT cannot separate parts based on visually detectable anomalies that do not affect the structural integrity of the part. It may be necessary to provide additional visual inspection of parts to identify these indications.
5.3.2
Excessive variation in part geometry or base material properties may limit the sensitivity of PCRT PTI examination.
5.3.3
A direct measurement of a single geometric dimension of a region undergoing a material state change, such as the case depth (in centimeters or inches) of an induction hardened region, is generally not possible with PCRT PTI. The frequency changes are dependent on the total volumetric effect of the process that causes the material state change. With accurately trained acceptability limits, however, PCRT PTI is very effective at screening populations of components for acceptable and unacceptable processing.
5.3.4
PCRT will only work with stiff objects that provide resonances whose peak quality factor (Q) values are greater than 500. Non-rigid materials or very thin-walled parts will not yield useful Q values.
5.3.5
While PCRT can be applied to painted and coated parts in many cases, the presence of some surface coatings such as vibration absorbing materials and heavy oil layers may limit or preclude the application of PCRT.
5.3.6
While PCRT PTI examination can be applied to parts over a wide range of temperatures, it cannot be applied to parts that are rapidly changing temperature. The part temperature should be stabilized before collecting resonance data.
5.3.7
Misclassified parts in the teaching set, along with the presence of unknown anomalies in the teaching set, can significantly reduce the accuracy and sensitivity of PCRT.
