Aim: To impart to the student sufficient knowledge and understanding of various methods on non-destructive testing of materials. To enable the student to make a sensible choice of method for the solution of industrial problems requiring the use of non-destructive testing.
Contents: Overview of practically applicable methods and principles of non-destructive testing of materials. A more in-depth treatment of the most important methods, such as ultrasound testing, X-ray and gamma-ray radiographic testing, eddy current testing, magnetoflux examination, penetrant colouring. Practical examples of non-destructive testing, eg. measurement of material thickness, variations in material composition, tests using penetrants, detection of cracks, pores and inclusions, faults in welded joints and laminated materials. Discussion of important fields of application: inspection of materials, preventive maintenance, process control and quality control. Criteria governing the choice of testing method. Unsolved problems and trends in development within non-destructive testing.
