Applications of Scanning Acoustic Microscopy Equipment

The scanning acoustic microscopy equipment is an advanced non-destructive testing technology widely used in various industries, particularly in the fields of microelectronics, semiconductors, aerospace, military equipment, and new energy vehicles. Scanning acoustic microscopy equipment employs high-frequency ultrasound to scan samples and analyzes the reflected waves to generate detailed images of the internal structure, effectively identifying defects such as voids, cracks, delaminations, and inclusions within materials. 


This technology provides high-resolution three-dimensional images, allowing researchers to deeply analyze materials without damaging the samples. This article will introduce the applications of scanning acoustic microscopy equipment in different fields.


Microelectronics and Semiconductor Industry


In the manufacturing process of microelectronics and semiconductor equipment, scanning acoustic microscopy equipment is used for non-destructive testing of internal structures and solder joints. It can detect various defects within chips, such as cracks, voids, and poor soldering, which can lead to performance degradation or premature failure of the equipment. With the use of scanning acoustic microscopy equipment, engineers can obtain high-resolution images in real-time, quickly identify problems, and optimize the production process to ensure product quality.


Aerospace Field: Brazed Aluminum Honeycomb Panels


In the aerospace field, scanning acoustic microscopy equipment is particularly suitable for detecting internal defects of brazed aluminum honeycomb panels. Aluminum honeycomb panels are widely used in positions such as aircraft wings, bulkheads, and structural parts due to their lightweight and high strength characteristics. 


Because the honeycomb structure contains a large number of weld points, poor welding (such as false welds, unjoined areas, inclusions, voids, etc.) is often difficult to detect. Using scanning acoustic microscopy equipment, the quality of internal welds in aluminum honeycomb panels can be precisely detected, and the location and size of defects can be determined, thereby ensuring the safety and performance of aircraft.


Military Equipment: Ceramic Composite Armor


Ceramic composite armor is widely used in bulletproof vests and protective systems for military vehicles, characterized by high hardness and lightweight. The application of scanning acoustic microscopy equipment in this field mainly involves detecting the bonding quality between the ceramic and metal layers. 


In the manufacturing process of ceramic armor, chemical reaction processes may leave metal impurities between the ceramic and metal layers, affecting the structural tightness. Using scanning acoustic microscopy equipment, these internal defects can be accurately detected to ensure the protective performance of the armor.


New Energy Vehicles: Crankshaft Connecting Rod


The crankshaft connecting rod is a crucial moving part in engines and plays an important role in the engines of new energy vehicles. During the use of the engine, poor adhesion of the inner wall liner may lead to increased noise or part damage. Scanning acoustic microscopy equipment is used to detect the internal structure of the crankshaft connecting rod. During production, manufacturers use scanning acoustic microscopy equipment for C-mode scanning, generating high-frequency ultrasound images to detect defects, thus avoiding problems during mass production and ensuring the normal operation of the car engine.


Materials Science and Composite Materials


Scanning acoustic microscopy equipment also has extensive applications in the field of materials science, particularly for the research and quality control of composite materials. The internal structure of composite materials is complex, often containing interlayer delamination, bubbles, and cracks, which can affect the overall performance of the material. Using scanning acoustic microscopy equipment, researchers can obtain three-dimensional internal images of composite materials non-destructively, helping them analyze the mechanical properties of the materials and optimize them.
