Ultrasonic testing for defect detection

A system for performing ultrasonic testing, the system comprising:

• a processing unit;
• and
• a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the processing unit and comprising computer-readable program instructions executable by the processing unit for:
• obtaining one or more reflected acoustic waves at a detector, the one or more reflected acoustic waves produced by at least one insonification of a component to be tested;
• processing the one or more reflected acoustic waves to produce a representation of the component;
• determining a location of the component to be tested within the representation of the component;
• analyzing a portion of the representation associated with the component to detect a presence of a defect in the component to be tested;
• and
• issuing an alert indicative of the defect in the component in response to detecting the presence of the defect.
