Our task was to cast several samples with defects like porosity and cavities (where belongs mostly shrinkages) and then pass these samples under ultrasonic testing. The characteristics of ultrasonic control of castings are presented in the theoretical part of this article. Ultrasonic control is a volume non-destructive method that can detect internal defects in controlled materials without damaging the construction. It is one of the most widely used methods of volume non-destructive testing. For experimental control were made several cylindrical samples from ferritic grey and ductile cast iron. Because of the form and dispersion of graphite of grey cast iron it was not possible to make ultrasonic records on this casting with probe we used, so we worked only with ductile cast iron. Ultrasonic records of casting control are shown and described in the experimental part. The evaluation of the measurement results and the reliability of the ultrasonic method in castings control is listed at the end of this article.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Ultrasonic Control of Ductile Cast Iron Castings by Phased Array Technique}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/110906/PDF/AFE%202_2019_02.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2019.127108}, keywords={Ductile cast iron, technological casting parameters, Ultrasonic testing, Phased array}, }
