- In this study, near-surface cracks in a railhead are inspected thoroughly using phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT). This research finds an alternative technique to inspect for near-surface cracks because the conventional non-destructive testing method for rail inspection lacks the capacity to inspect the near-surface crack profile. This study shows that PAUT can determine not only the crack depth but also the near-surface crack profile, so that the inspector can estimate the stage of crack growth and how the crack propagates. This information is valuable to the rail maintainer as one of the considerations for deciding the thickness of metal to remove when grinding the rail. In this study, after the measurement, the inspected region of the cracked railhead is sliced into thin pieces so that crack network information can be extracted. A 3D image reconstruction of the surface cracks based on the crack marks from all of the sliced rail pieces is performed. This image is then used as a reference to confirm the PAUT results. The results show that PAUT can clearly deliver crack profile estimation and provide an accurate estimation of a 3.51 mm crack-tip depth with an absolute error range of 8%-18%. The results also suggest that PAUT is a potential method for installation in a measurement train for near-surface crack inspection.
