A comparative analysis of the possibilities of acoustic emission transducers (AET) of various types for the detection of acoustic emission signals in the simulation of corrosion in a thin plate made of aluminum alloy was carried out. The signals were excited in two ways: by dropping of the calibrated sand grains and etching with a solution of hydrochloric acid of weak concentration. The comparison was made by comparing the spectra of signal/noise ratios measured for seven types of AET. The best indicators were observed in the AETR 2500D sensor of domestic production.

Key words: acoustic emission, corrosion, acoustic emission transducer, Lamb waves, spectrum, signal/noise ratio.
