  • To achieve the automation and intelligence of the radiographic inspection of turbine blades in aeroengines, and to effectively address the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient problems in traditional radiographic inspection methods, a research initiative was undertaken to develop a defect detection method for X-ray images of turbine blade based on unsupervised learning. A defect inspection algorithm suitable for X-ray images of aeroengine turbine blades was proposed based on an unsupervised generative adversarial network. It consisted of a generator network, a discriminator network, and an extra encoder network. Reconstruction, discrimination, encoding, and intermediate encoding loss were designed, and the weighted sum of the four losses was used to construct the objective function. Using non-defective X-ray images for model training. A defect inspection model for X-ray images of aeroengine turbine blades was established based on the trained generator network. The effects of input image size, encoding size, and type of reconstruction loss on the performance of the defect detection model were studied. Results showed that the proposed model with an input image size of 128 pixel×128 pixel, 600 encoding size, and L2 reconstruction loss can achieve an area under curve (AUC) of 0.911. The defect inspection algorithm can realize strict technical indicators of zero missing rate for actual production, but the false detection rate (>62.1%) was relatively high. As an auxiliary detection method applied in actual production, it can improve the manual detection efficiency by 1.6 times.
