It’s an exciting time to work in ultrasonics. Phased array and other innovations in ultrasound have expanded its applications and uses, and with the advent of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) in aerospace, the need to nondestructively test critical parts for thickness and flaws continues to grow.
For young workers looking for a career in a booming field, ultrasonics presents opportunities not just in aerospace and other manufacturing markets, but energy and facility maintenance, as well.
