Neutron computed tomography (nCT) is gaining commercial acceptance, while standard 2D neutron radiography (N-ray) has been in use for nearly 100 years. Neutrons interact differently within the atomic structure compared to X-rays, providing insight into the internal structure of a part.

Recent advancements in ultrasonic testing have focused on improving inspection speed, sensitivity, and data management. We explore the principles, applications, and benefits of plane wave imaging in ultrasonic inspections.

In manufacturing, precision, accuracy, and efficiency are crucial. Traditional metrology methods ensure quality control, but industrial CT scanning is revolutionizing inspection and quality assurance.

To achieve product quality and consistency, manufacturers have relied on X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for fast and accurate insights into material composition and integrity. This article explores the pivotal role of XRF technology in enhancing quality assurance and control in manufacturing.

A computer that can think for itself presents a polarizing reality. Some see it as an all-encompassing solution, while others fear risks to security, whether it's for their job or their information. This is increasingly true in the world of nondestructive evaluation (NDE).

I started my career in quality assurance and configuration management in 1963. On April 10th of the same year, the USS Thresher SSN 593 sank during its sea trials, leading to the tragic loss of 112 Naval Personnel and 17 civilians.

Michelle Banger sat down with Andrew Hanasek from Evident to talk about XRF.

Where does the bulk of NDT training responsibility lie, in the classroom or in the field? Nondestructive testing (NDT) is crucial for ensuring safety and reliability. However, there is an ongoing debate about where the bulk of NDT training responsibility lies.

Manufacturing requires testing every product. Force measurement ensures reliability. AI helps analyze data for streamlined quality control to prevent future failures.

NDT personnel must be qualified and certified to perform their tasks safely and correctly. BINDT provides certification options for central certification under the PCN banner, complying with BS EN ISO 9712:2022. Other certification systems, such as employer-based schemes, also exist.
