Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is **vital** for identifying flaws such as porosity or cracks in critical components. A variety of methods are currently used (X-Ray CT, Dye Penetrant, Magnetic Particle, Process Compensated Resonance Testing, Eddy Current, Thermography) but have serious limitations (difficult to implement, cannot find closed 'contact cracks'...

There is pressure in and on the aerospace sector to embed sensors in flight-ready systems and subsystems in order that Condition Monitoring may provide continuous and early-warning reports as to the flightworthiness of such systems during their manufacture, while on the ground or during maintenance intervals. Theta Technologies is a UK-based global leader...

This project will develop specialised reference artefacts, using novel fabrication methods, that validate and verify the capabilities of Non-Linear Acoustics (NLA) equipment for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Commercial aviation, Aerospace, Defence and Automotive industries are investing heavily in the scale-up of Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals. To...

Additive manufacturing provides a great amount of freedom to design and build very complex parts, unfortunately the more complex the part geometry externally and internally the more difficult it is to inspect. Due to this part complexity, the general inspection practice has relied mainly on digital and computed tomography (CT) X-ray non-destructive testin...

The Project aims to develop a cost effective and novel Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technique for the in-process examination of Friction Welds used in the fabrication of welded aluminium structures for the marine, rail, automotive and aerospace industries. The NDT development will be based on high frequency, oblique incident angle, Non-Linear Ultrasonic ...
