This technology offers protection against product liability and, particularly due to automation, reduces production costs and can help optimize an entire plant.
Until recently, thermography was limited to a secondary, qualitative role in airfoil QA. However, advances in the technology have given rise to thermographic QA systems that are capable of replacing traditional technologies.
Better understanding the rules of X-ray micro CT not only opens the door to production cost savings and productivity improvement, but also knowing when to break them can provide even further process flexibility.
SAN ANTONIO, TX-Nondestructive test (NDT) inspection service has been one of the few markets that performed impressively during the global economic downturn, according to market research firm Frost & Sullivan.
The apparent simplicity of the magnetic particle process can be misleading and it is often incorrectly assumed that the process steps are simply magnetizing, applying the particles and inspection.
High and low frequency eddy current testing has been used as an NDT tool for many years, since the development of pencil, ring and spot probes in the 1960s and 1970s.
As a prerequisite to guarantee compliance with AS9100C, aerospace engineers must understand why the AS9100 standard was modified with the revisions present in its current version, “C.”
