Advanced ultrasonic testing techniques, such as Phased Array (PAUT) and the emerging Full Matrix Capture/Total Focusing Method (FMC/TFM), are transforming weld-quality examinations and are recognized in ASME and AWS codes. A crucial aspect of these methods is a comprehensive Scan Plan for maintaining testing quality and consistency.

Aircraft component safety and reliability are ensured using automated ultrasonic testing, which detects flaws accurately and efficiently, reducing inspection time.

In this article, I will explore the basic principles of phased array ultrasonic inspection and predominantly its applications within the aerospace sector.

Ultrasonic technology has been used for testing ERW welded pipe at various points in the manufacturing process for many years. 

Industrial radiography (RT) is a time-tested technique for examining a welded joint and the heat-affected zone after manufacturing.

Aerospace components and structures come in all shapes and sizes and more importantly are made from different types of materials.
