This project aims to develop a rapid ultrasonic method for the non-destructive testing of alumino-thermic welds in railways. By creating a clamp-on device for quick deployment, the system will enhance safety and reliability in inspecting welds, addressing a significant cause of rail failures.
In 2004 an estimated 5 billion passenger journeys will be made in the UK, France and Germany and the market in the three countries is worth approximately €40 billion. [Ref. 1] .
Based on the extrapolation of data relating to the UK, French and German railways [Ref 1], the 500,000 kms of rail [Ref. 2] on the European rail network has an average estimated 5000 rail breaks annually with about 1500 due to weld failure.
Although the number of weld failures is relatively small compared to the estimate…
