Accurate assessments of military and defense assets, especially ballistics, are crucial for battlefield success. Advanced CT X-ray nondestructive testing (NDT) and robotic systems integration have revolutionized inspections, enhancing quality control and safety.

Thomas Jefferson and MMA Fighter Jon Jones both emphasized the link between risk and reward, but it's debatable whether Jefferson meant to imply a direct correlation.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries power many of our daily devices. However, manufacturing them requires scarce base metals and has supply and sustainability challenges. Battery recycling is vital for the supply chain. This article discusses using analytical technologies to maximize Li-ion materials and optimize production.

Manual methods of performing nondestructive testing (NDT) and human evaluation of the results are rapidly being replaced by automated, digitized, and artificial intelligence interpretation of the results wherever economically feasible.

Liquid penetrant testing (LPT) is a versatile, portable, simple, and sensitive method for detecting surface defects. It can be used on a wide range of materials and is excellent at finding surface discontinuities such as defects, porosity, lack of fusion, or surface-breaking cracks.

The development of laser-based non-destructive testing (NDT) technology has benefitted various industries, including these three examples.

Michelle Bangert, who is the managing editor of Quality, has a chat with Greg Weaver from Weaver NDT about additive manufacturing inspection.

The aerospace industry uses automation and metrology to improve product quality and safety. Components require precise measurements for high quality and efficient production.

Quality training is crucial for success in rapidly evolving industries like additive manufacturing, welding, and nondestructive testing.

Amusement parks offer thrilling experiences, but safety is crucial. Nondestructive testing (NDT) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of rides through meticulous inspection without causing damage.
