Trends in Nondestructive Testing (NDT)

If the supply of qualified personnel is inadequate to meet the needs of industry there will be greater efforts to automate and utilize artificial intelligence to perform and evaluate NDT.

Manual methods of performing nondestructive testing (NDT) and human evaluation of the results are rapidly being replaced by automated, digitized, and artificial intelligence interpretation of the results wherever economically feasible.

2D Radiography (x-ray) for NDT

2D radiography continues to be essential to the safety and reliability of many of the world's industrial products.
Gregory James Weaver

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Trends

Manual means of performing NDT and human evaluation of the results is trending more and more to automated, digitized and artificial intelligence interpretation of the results whenever economically possible.

Manual or human manipulated NDT is still the primary means of performing Nondestructive Testing (NDT) in unique or one-off applications. Mechanical aids and/or computer assisted manipulation and scanning devices can reduce data gathering time on the site of the item being inspected.

How Nondestructive Testing is Driving Sustainable Quality in the Automotive Sector

NDT techniques are available that are just as quick as destructive methods but also offer a more sustainable use of raw materials.
Paul Buschke
February 8, 2022

The global contribution of the automotive industry to the world economy is approximately $3.4 trillion (2021 – Mc Kinsey). Yet very little is communicated about the nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques used for industrial inspection to meet those often mutually opposed pressures of productivity and quality.

Computed Tomography's Solution to Battery Safety Concerns

A battery is a great example of the value of CT compared to simple radiography.
Andrew Ramsey
February 8, 2022

In the past, simple X-ray radiography was sufficient in providing an image needed for this inspection. However, because it views structures in 2D, simple radiography is limited in engineering applications as the objects become more complex. This is where computed tomography (CT) becomes valuable.

Neutron Radiography and Turbine Blades

Neutron Radiography Works on the Same Basic Principles as X-Ray Imaging Except With Neutron Radiation Instead of X-Radiation.
Willow Ascenzo
June 8, 2021
Air cooling is the most readily available means for keeping turbine blades from breaking or melting while the engine is running, and in order to get the most from the air streaming through the engine, turbine blades are cast with delicate cooling channels running through them. In the manufacturing process, though, these channels can become clogged. It's important that these defective blades be screened out as thoroughly as possible in quality assurance, and neutron radiography is the most effective nondestructive testing method for this purpose.
