x-ray imaging
This nondestructive test examines the integrity of metal objects by X-ray techniques. Discovering discontinuities or inconsistencies and internal features is a challenge that needs to be addressed without causing damage or failure of the material.
Key features
- Principle of Operation: An image is created based on density variations. When the X-ray enters a material, using differential thickness and composition, the X-ray absorption of the material is revealed.
- Property Measurement: Cracks, voids voids, and inclusions know, and porosity to each other within the metal structure. This will give information about weld integrity, casting quality, and soundness of the structure.
- Applications: Aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, construction - big ones. A very serious importance is to the common quality control, failure analysis, and safety infrastructure for the consideration of critical components part of any structural environment.
X-ray imaging is the technique employed by non-destructive testing to evaluate the inner structure and detect internal defects, irregularities, and other features in the objects made from metals without causing damage to them.
