The paper investigates the directions of development of ultrasonic non-destructive testing (UNT) methods based on the use of magnetostriction effects. After analysis of modern publications in the field, it is concluded that researchers are increasingly interested in in-depth study of the capabilities of these NDT methods. Interest in this topic is due to the emergence of new magnetostrictive materials with improved characteristics and the development of digital methods and means of forming and processing NDT information signals, as well as the expansion of the range of control objects and tasks, in particular the control of large-sized objects such as pipelines and heat exchanger tubes, the need to create NDT technologies that do not require acoustic contact between the transducer and the product and provide the ability to control products with complex geometry. The results obtained will contribute to a better understanding of the possibilities and limitations of using magnetostriction effects in NDT. It is concluded that the use of such systems allows expanding the functional capabilities of NDT and obtaining new solutions to NDT problems in various industries. The feasibility of further research into the magnetostrictive method of NDT based on small-aperture magnetostrictive transducers is also shown. 51 Ref., 7 Fig.
