Abstract: The invention concerns a method for ultrasounds detection of defects in a material, including the following steps: emission of ultrasounds from an ultrasonic emitting transducer positioned against to the material at an emission position, acquisition, by an ultrasonic receiving transducer placed against the material at the reception position, of at least one time signal, for each measurement position, determination of a normalisation term from the values taken by the time signal during an initial portion of the measurement duration corresponding to the reception of ultrasonic waves propagated at the surface of the material; for each measurement position, normalisation of the time signal over the measurement duration using the normalisation term to obtain a normalised time signal, processing of normalised time signals for different measurement positions to detect defects in the material.
