ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic inspection apparatus and method tests elongated, cylindrical aluminum billets. The apparatus includes a frame supporting a movable carriage having at least one ultrasonic detector assembly mounted thereon. Each ultrasonic detector assembly includes a bracket detachably mounted to the carriage, at least one holder movably coupled to the bracket, a spring-biasing mechanism to bias the holder from the bracket, a transducer shoe attached to the holder and a transducer attached to the shoe. The shoe is configured to conform to the outer surface of the billet and to be flooded with fluid to assist in testing.
