Wide Area 3D Measurement System for Analysis of 3013 Inner Container Closure Weld Region

One of the main focus areas of the 3013 Surveillance Program is a thorough evaluation of the inner container closure weld region (ICCWR) opened for destructive examination (DE). As part of the protocol to investigate the corrosion in the ICCWR, a laser confocal microscope (LCM) is used to perform close visual examination of the surface and to measure corrosion features on the surface. However, in FY20, the introduction of the Wide Area 3D Measurement System (WAMS) was tested as a method for faster inspection of the ICCWR. Optimization of the WAMS parameters for data collection was carried out using a generic tear-drop type sample containing large and fine Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) fractures and high resolution images were compared to the image obtained with the LCM. Although the image with the LCM shows higher resolution than the WAMS images, the small features can be still identified in the WAMS images. The advantage of collecting data for the full circumference using the WAMS is that it can take about a week to complete, which represents 1/16 of the time needed with the LCM. Nonetheless, both systems offer capabilities that combined can be utilized to expedite the examination of the ICCWR. The WAMS can be utilized to obtain images for faster screening or identification of corrosion features on the surface while the LCM can be utilized to obtain higher resolution images of those areas identified by the WAMS.
