The introduction of automated ultrasonic testing has benefited the nondestructive testing (NDT) field in terms of increased inspection speed, imaging capabilities and repeatability. Ultrasonic immersion tanks and squirter systems are well suited for flaw detection of large aerospace parts. Complex … [Read more...]
Non-destructive testing of aerospace composite parts is most commonly achieved using ultrasonic inspection technologies. While component presenting complex geometries may require dedicated scanning technologies, many aerospace parts are made of composite materials in a panel-like shapes, presenting … [Read more...]
The use of composite materials is widespread and still growing especially in the aerospace industry. Currently, aircraft designers are using significant amounts of composite materials for the design of airframe and engine components. Such a design solution provides significant weight reduction, … [Read more...]
Turbine blades are investment casting engine components which are critical to the operation of the aircraft. These blades are produced to be light/thin and also strong/durable. Their critical nature requires accurate inspection after casting in order to confirm minimum allowable material thickness … [Read more...]
Automated Ultrasonic Inspection is widely used for flaw detection in aerospace components and large structures. When performing such automated non-destructive testing, several requirements and parameters need to be controlled in very precise way. One of the important requirements for reliable … [Read more...]
