Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to this practice, refer to Terminology E131
19、6. The following definitions arespecific to the conformable sensors:3.1.1 conformablerefers to an ability of sensors or sensor arrays to conform to nonplanar surfaces without any significanteffects on the measurement results.3.1.2 lift-offnormal distance from the conformable sensor winding plane to
20、the top of the first conducting layer of the partunder examination.3.1.3 model for sensor responsea relation between the response of the sensor (for example, transimpedance magnitude andphase or real and imaginary parts) to properties of interest, for example, electrical conductivity, magnetic perme
21、ability, lift-off, andconductive coating thickness, etc. These model responses may be obtained from database tables and may be analysis-based orempirical.3.1.4 depth of sensitivitydepth to which sensor response to features or properties of interest, for example, coating thicknessvariations, exceeds
22、a noise threshold.3.1.5 spatial half-wavelengthspacing between the center of adjacent primary (drive) winding segments with current flow inopposite directions; this spacing affects the depth of sensitivity. Spatial wavelength equals two times this spacing. A single turnconformable circular coil has
23、an approximate spatial wavelength of twice the coil diameter.3.1.6 insulating shimsconformable insulating foils used to measure effects of small lift-off excursions on sensor response.3.1.7 air standardizationan adjustment of the instrument with the sensor in air, that is, at least one spatial wavel
24、ength awayfrom any conductive or magnetic objects, to match the model for the sensor response. Measurements on conductive materials afterair standardization should provide absolute electrical properties and lift-off values. The performance can be verified on certifiedreference standards over the fre
25、quency range of interest.3.1.8 reference substrate standardizationan adjustment of the instrument to an appropriate reference substrate standard. Theadjustment is to remove offsets between the model for the sensor response and at least two reference substrate measurements (forexample, two measuremen
26、ts with different lift-offs at the same position on the standard). These standards should have a knownelectrical conductivity that is essentially uniform with depth and should have essentially the same electrical conductivity andmagnetic permeability as the substrate in the components being characte

When a reference standardization is p

Performance verification is a qualitycontrol procedure recommended prior to or during measurements after standardization.3.1.10 perfo

These property variations can be used to detect and characterize heterogeneous regions within theconductive coatings, for example, re
35、gions of locally higher porosity.4.2 Sensors and Sensor ArraysDepending on the application, either a single-sensing element sensor or a sensor array can beused for coating characterization. A sensor array would provide a better capability to map spatial variations in coating thicknessand/or conducti
36、vity (reflecting, for example, porosity variations) and provide better throughput for scanning large areas. The sizeof the sensor footprint and the size and number of sensing elements within an array depend on the application requirements andconstraints, and the nonconductive (for example, ceramic)
37、coating thickness.4.3 Coating Thickness RangeThe conductive coating thickness range over which a sensor performs best depends on thedifference between the electrical conductivity of the substrate and conductive coating and available frequency range. For example,a specific sensor geometry with a spec
38、ific frequency range for impedance measurements may provide acceptable performance foran MCrAlY coating over a nickel-alloy substrate for a relatively wide range of conductive coating thickness, for example, from75 to 400 m (0.003 to 0.016 in.). Yet, for another conductive coating-substrate combinat
39、ion, this range may be 10 to 100 m(0.0004 to 0.004 in.). The coating characterization performance may also depend on the thickness of a nonconductive topcoat. Forany coating system, performance verification on representative coated specimens is critical to establishing the range of optimumperformanc
40、e. For nonconductive, for example, ceramic, coatings nonconductive coatings, such as ceramic coatings, the thicknessmeasurement range increases with an increase of the spatial wavelength of the sensor (for example, thicker coatings can bemeasured with larger sensor winding spatial wavelength). For n
41、onconductive coatings, when roughness of the coating may havea significant effect on the thickness measurement, independent measurements of the nonconductive coating roughness, forexample, by profilometry may provide a correction for the roughness effects.4.4 Process-Affected ZoneFor some processes,
42、 for example, shot peening, the process-affected zone can be represented by aneffective layer thickness and conductivity. These values can in turn be used to assess process quality. A strong correlation must bedemonstrated between these “effective coating” properties and process quality.4.5 Three-Un
43、known AlgorithmUse of multi-frequency impedance measurements and a three-unknown algorithm permitsindependent determination of three unknowns: (1) thickness of conductive nonmagnetic coatings, (2) conductivity of conductivenonmagnetic coatings, and (3) lift-off that provides a measure of the noncond
44、uctive coating thickness.4.6 AccuracyDepending on the material properties and frequency range, there is an optimal measurement performance rangefor each coating system. The instrument, its air standardization and/or reference substrate standardization, and its operation permitthe coating thickness t
45、o be determined within615 % of its true thickness for coating thickness within the optimal range and within630 % outside the optimal range. Better performance may be required for some applications.5. Interferences5.1 Thickness of CoatingThe precision of a measurement can change with coating thicknes
46、s.The thickness of a coating shouldbe less than the maximum depth of sensitivity. Ideally, the depth of sensitivity at the highest frequency should be less than theconductive coating thickness, while the depth of sensitivity at the lowest frequency should be significantly greater than theconductive
47、coating thickness. The number of frequencies used in the selected frequency range should be sufficient to provide areliable representation of the frequency-response shape.5.2 Thickness of SubstrateThe thickness of the substrate should be larger than the depth of sensitivity at the lowest frequency.O
48、therwise, this thickness must be known and accounted for in the model for the sensor response.5.3 Magnetic Permeability and Electrical Conductivity of Base Metal (Substrate)The magnetic permeability and electricalconductivity of the substrate can affect the measurement and must be known prior to coa
49、ting characterization unless they can bedetermined independently on a coated part. When the substrate properties vary spatially, this variation must be determined as partof the coating characterization on a noncoated part that preferably has the same thermal history as the coated parts. Originaluncoated parts may have significantly different microstructure than heat treated coated substrates. Uncoated colder regions ofotherwise coated parts may have different properties than the coated substrate due to changes during coating and heat treatment,and,
