ULTRASONIC FLAW DETECTION OF THERMIT WELDED JOINTS

The increase in the incidence of fractures in welded rail joints led the Indian Railways to attempt ultrasonic detection of flaws in the thermit welds. The article describes the research carried out on this question, by which it is hoped to determine positive criteria for the use of ultrasonic methods in thermit weld inspection.
