Dynamic range of advanced ultrasonic systems Aerospace composite materials and structures take many forms, from thin plates to complex 3D shapes. One of the challenges of inspecting the more complex structures while using ultrasonic systems is to maintain a good SNR in all portions of the part. … [Read more...]
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...]
