MONITORING THE QUALITY OF RAILS USING ELECTROMAGNETIC -- ACOUSTIC CONVERTERS

The mirror-shadow method of ultrasonically testing railroad rails by the noncontact excitation of elastic shear waves is examined. A method is proposed for the testing of rails by the normal and inclined excitation of ultrasound (using electromagnetic -- acoustic converters) under the conditions of a rail-welding workshop.
