AN ULTRASONIC BOND TESTER FOR THE HANFORD CANNING LINE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4180975
The ultrasonic tester and the frost test for insuring the metallurgical bonding of slugs are compared. The change from the triple dip to the lead dip method of canning caused more problems with the ultrasonic tester which is the more sensitive and consistent. Due to the high number of ultrasonic rejects and in view of the absence of pile performance data warranting a more costly approach, it has been decided that the ultrasonic rejects which pass the frost test will be considered safe for pile exposure. Circuits, photographs, data, and theory on the method are included. (M.H.R.)
