Abstract

Language:

Non-destructive methods are making a fast progress due to extensive scientific treatment and practical applications of new testing techniques. The application of individual techniques requires of their users good knowledge of the relevant theory and a lot of experience. The experience is the main guideline in choosing the right testing technique. The paper focuses on the ultrasonic testing methods developed for the application to railway vehicles. In order to detect in time initial cracks at vital parts such as king bolts, suspension, and particularly bogie axles of locomotives and wagons, efficient testing equipment and software support are required. This is a prerequisite for safe and reliable railway traffic. With a view to improve the classical ultrasonic testing method designed for machine parts, an interface was constructed and software elaborated for the purpose. A relevant description follows. Lately, ultrasonic defectoscopy experienced exceptional advances as far as the apparatuses measuring, saving and processing ultrasonic signals are concerned. This should be followed by an advance of software. Some latest approaches to testing of railway tracks and vital machine parts, particularly those of railway vehicles such as wagons and locomotives of German Bundesbahn, will be described.
