Abstract
The results of investigating the parameters of ultrasonic signals when increasing rail testing speed presented. Signals from rail bolt holes were selected as test reflectors. It is shown that the holes closest to the rail joints are not sounded fully, and signals due to them cannot be used as test reflectors. For a full assessment of the deterioration of the quality of nondestructive testing of rails with an increase in the scanning speed, it is proposed to use the integral parameter of the reflector being analyzed. A noticeable decrease in this parameter at high speeds requires a compromise decision when choosing between performance and quality of rail inspection. The proposed technique can be used to assess the efficiency of operating and newly created flaw detection systems.
