Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for performing ultrasonic testing. Reflected acoustic waves are obtained at a detector, the reflected acoustic waves produced by at least one insonification of a component to be tested. The reflected acoustic waves are processed to produce a representation of the component. A location of the component to be tested within the representation of the component is determined. A portion of the representation associated with the component is analyzed to detect a presence of a defect in the component to be tested. An alert indicative of the defect in the component is issued responsive to detecting the presence of the defect.
