Ultrasonic inspection techniques using magnetostrictive transducers have received much attention in recent years as non-contact, non-destructive means of inspecting ferromagnetic materials. By the selection of a desired mode and thus the rejection of the unwanted modes among propagating waves in a waveguide, different types of flaws existing in a cylindrical ferromagnetic waveguide can be effectively detected. However, desired mode selection methods have not been fully developed yet. The purpose of this research is to present a mangetostrictive sensor based technique for the selection of either the bending or longitudinal waves alone in a ferromagnetic waveguide. To achieve this goal, new bias magnet configurations, particularly for bending mode selection are suggested. Several experimental results are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the suggested magnetostrictive sensors.
