Proc. 1511, 916 (2013); 10.1063/1.4789142 V(X) Ultrasonic Material Characterization Systems Employing Pairs of Line-Line and Line-Point Focused Transducers AIP Conf.ABSTRACT. In this paper the applications, detailed in previous works, of ultrasonic transducers with the addition of axicon lenses are extended. Axicon lenses were manufactured to generate an angular refracted beam in order to study defectology in welds and other components. To achieve greater depth of focus while maintaining a relationship between focus depth and near field (F/N) less than 0.4, larger diameter transducers were used. Furthermore, its effect on the focus diameter (dF) was also analyzed. For different combinations of lens-transducer, diagrams of axial and transverse sound pressure distribution were obtained. At last, several practical applications are shown where it is possible to exploit the advantages that these transducers offer; for example: sizing of shallow cracks, high resolution corrosion mapping simulation, etc.
