Aircraft wheel tie bolts are extremely safety-critical, so airlines strive to us the best available test methods to locate potential problems. Traditionally, magnetic particle testing or penetrant testing methods have been used to test both steel and inconel tie bolts, but a new study showed that eddy current testing of tie bolts outperformed other nondestructive […]

Problem: Some eddy current scanners are slower than others. When you work in areas such as manufacturing, the military, commercial aviation or bridge inspection, you need a high-speed EC scanner to scan for surface or subsurface defects, variations in heat damage, and variations in thickness to find any areas of subsurface corrosion.Non-destructive examination (NDE) of […]

Eddy current testing (ET) is a tried and true method for detecting flaws, such as cracks, laps and pin holes in safety-critical automotive parts. Yet in the real world, scanning these parts can disrupt or slow down the production process. Scanning by hand is also less accurate since the distance between the scanner and the […]

Nondestructive testing (NDT), sometimes called nondestructive examination (NDE) or nondestructive inspection (NDI), is any method of materials testing whereby the material being tested is not damaged or destroyed. It is important in quality control as well as useful in research. It is also a key element in material inspection systems. Nondestructive testing, using ASNT standards, […]
