This document discusses different types of transducers used for ultrasonic testing. It notes that most transducers use piezoelectric ceramic materials. It describes different transducer types like paintbrush transducers for wide area scanning, shoe-shaped transducers for curved surfaces, and immersion transducers with acoustic matching layers. The document also mentions that highly damped transducers have better resolution but a narrower frequency range, while backing materials control transducer ringing.
