61、表面會產(chǎn)生一個混亂的背景。因為“發(fā)射”的效果可能是不被接受的，所以渦流檢測也偏好需要光滑的表面。而對射線檢測來說，表面粗糙度超過材料的厚度1%的可能導致重大的靈敏度變化。不過對于超聲檢測,一個適當粘性“耦合劑”可以協(xié)助聲音的穿透率,但入口表面上的“噪音”時基和衰減會減小靈敏度。</p><p><b>　　2、幾何</b></p><p>　　對任何檢測方法，平坦的表

62、面是最簡單的檢查。然而,滲透檢測作為一種液體滲透的過程是受幾何影響最小的。磁粉檢測需要磁通線相對缺陷90°。因此,表面彎曲和空心部分會提供特別的問題。目視檢測要求特殊的接入設備，渦流檢測需要為曲面或不規(guī)則表面特別設計探針。因為射線檢測決定于吸收差異，厚度的變化會導致由于曲率大的變化產(chǎn)生的一系列攝影密度和感光膠片對比度的損失。在超聲檢測中當探測器整個與檢測表面直接接觸時，探測器中有較好的透光率。任何曲率會導致探測器的“搖擺”和一
