Welding of Reactive and Refractory Metals Introduction Definition and Significance of Welding Reactive and Refractory Metals Welding reactive and refractory metals is a crucial process in various industries, especially those that deal with extreme conditions and require materials with exceptional properties. Reactive metals, such as titanium, zirconium, and tantalum, are …

What is x-ray welding? Introduction Definition of X-ray welding X-ray welding is a specialized welding technique that utilizes X-rays to weld two pieces of metal together. The process involves using an X-ray machine to generate high-energy radiation, which is then directed onto the weld area to produce a weld. This …

Acoustic Emission Testing – NDT Inspection Introduction Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) refers to a group of methods used to evaluate the properties and integrity of materials, structures, and components without causing damage to them. The primary objective of NDT is to detect defects, discontinuities, and other anomalies that may compromise the …

Eddy Current Testing (ECT) – NDT Inspection Introduction Definition of Eddy Current Testing Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that is used to detect surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials. ECT works on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is capable of detecting defects such …

Magnetic Particle Inspection – NDT Inspection Introduction Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to detect surface and subsurface defects in ferromagnetic materials. This method utilizes the magnetic properties of materials to identify defects that are not visible to the naked eye. MPI is commonly used …

Radiographic Testing – NDT Inspection Introduction Radiographic testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that uses electromagnetic radiation, typically X-rays or gamma rays, to produce an image of the internal structure of an object. Radiographic testing is commonly used in a variety of industries, including welding technology, to ensure …

NDT Non-Destructive Testing Introduction Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a group of techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing any damage to it. This means that the inspection process does not alter or affect the material or component in any …

Weld Testing Methods Introduction Weld testing is a crucial step in the manufacturing process of many industrial products, ensuring the strength and reliability of the welded joints. The objective of weld testing is to detect any defects or inconsistencies that might affect the structural integrity of the final product. Weld …
