Richtsmeier - Nordson SONOSCAN, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA Abstract: Acoustic Micro Imaging (AMI) is a nondestructive inspection technique that utilizes high frequency ultrasound to examine and characterize a wide variety of high-tech materials and processes. The technique can be used to 1) measure empirical material properties such as velocity, layer thickness, porosity and attenuation as well as, 2) detect a wide variety of defects and/or failures within materials such as cracks, voids, dis-bonds and/or delamination's. With source frequencies ranging from 5 to 300 MHz, the technology has the capability to image features as small as 3 to 5 microns in size. Applications range from inspecting ultra-hard materials to ceramics, composites, metals and plastics as well as epoxies, adhesives, solders and pastes. This paper will review the basic theory and principles behind the technology of AMI and cover specific applications within hard materials including the inspection and characterization of synthetic diamond or poly-crystalline diamond (PCD), bond evaluation of PCD to tungsten carbide (WC) cutters and flaw detection in related bonding, cutting and polishing processes.
