Notes:
It's not easy to detect the defects in fillet weldment which is widely used in various buildingstructures and power plants just with nondestructive inspection due to its complex geometrical shapeand difficult access. But it's easy to detect the cracks on the surface or just below the surface of filletweldment heel part if surface SH-wave, among ultrasonic wave modes, is applied. The traditionalultrasound inspection using surface SH-wave is usually a contact method using piezoelectrictransducer, so it's not suitable for a field application because the reliability of inspection variesdepending on field environments such as couplant, contact pressure and pre-process, etc. Therefore,the necessity for non-contact ultrasound inspection is increasing. This study proposes non-contactultrasound inspection method using EMAT (electro-magnetic acoustic transducer), and presentednon-contact ultrasound inspection method for fillet weldment through experimental verification
