- What it is about:
- Non-destructive testing technique that uses ultrasonic waves to detect internal discontinuities in materials.
- How it is done:
- Ultrasonic waves are emitted into the material, and the reflected waves are detected. Discontinuities in the material alter the reflected wave pattern, allowing the detection of defects such as cracks, fissures, and porosities.
- Where it applies:
- In the aerospace, automotive, railway, and power generation industries, as well as in the inspection of welds, forged and cast parts, and other industrial components.
