Abstract

In this work, the acoustic resonance testing method has been extended by a finite element analysis of the examined component to localize cavities within die casting parts. This novel method aims at a fast and efficient quality inspection which allows hidden cavities in cast components to be detected, which is only possible with X-ray technology at the moment. The promising results show that this method enables the localization of shrinkage cavities. Furthermore, the influence of product scatter has been analyzed regarding the accuracy of the calculated position of artificial defects.
