Ultrasonic fatigue testing is importance for materials intended for high endurance, high reliability applications.

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies present an array of benefits including lightweight structures (lattices, triply periodic minimal surfaces, and other organic shapes), consolidation of parts, limiting necessity for tooling, and lead time reduction.

Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) has been steadily supplanting conventional ultrasonic testing since its introduction in the early 2000s.

Flaws can come in many different shapes, orientations, and sizes. They can be minor material differences, surface imperfections, or anything that is not supposed to be on or in a component.

In this series, we will explore exit planning and what business owners should know when considering the sale or transfer of a business.

The Level III (SNT-TC-1A) / Level 3 (NAS 410) population of inspectors is graying and looking forward to retirement. A problem for the foreseeable future is a current shortage of qualified Level IIIs in all NDT methods.

“Quality of ONE” is a vision to achieve excellence that focuses on a vital human aspect. It requires growing a culture within teams to transform the perception of quality from an activity to ownership.

In the latest Quality podcast, InnovMetric's Marc Soucy explains how CMM software can help you measure parts quickly and accurately, how to use these techniques most effectively, and how automating can help.

If you’re looking to improve quality, software is often a good place to start.

Whether you are an OEM testing an airframe or a third tier supplier testing high strength alloys, it is crucial to use a reliable tensile testing system that can produce repeatable results.
