How is Radiography testing used for finding defects?

Image
Here we would see How is Radiography testing used for finding defects?For Example look at the RT film here Find the Defect inside the Casting? Answer: Shrinkage – Sponge Shrinkage Shrinkage are volumetric defects caused during solidification of casting after pouring.It is caused due to inadequate metal to fill the shrink areas during cooling. Shrinkage are classified into four types 1) Linear Shrinkage 2) Feathery Shrinkage 3) Sponge Shrinkage and 4) Combined Shrinkage The best non destructive testing method to find the defect is Radiography or X Ray Testing. The given image is Film Radiography image of a steel casting with a hole type IQI placed on the area of interest, where a film sensitivity of 2-2T is achieved. The defect identified in the film is Sponge Shrinkage of level 5 as per reference images given ASTM E446. For best training and certification on Radiography Testing and Film Interpretation. Radiography Testing on defects and services reac...

How is Radiography Testing Done?

Radiography Testing or X ray Testing: Radiography Testing uses electromagnetic radiation from a source to capture image of the object. The source used may be gamma radiation emitting source or an X ray emitting source. Either of the radiation have capability of penetrating into matter , so that even an internally located defect’s image is captured. How is Radiography Image captured? The radiation penetrating into the object is made to fall on a detector; the detector may be a photosensitive film, a Phosphor plate, or a semiconductor flat panel. The image density formed on the film is directly proportional to the amount of radiation fall on it. Where ever the radiation falls directly on film the image is darker, when radiation passes through an object before reaching the film, radiation gets absorbed in the object and forms a lighter image on the film. The rate of absorption depend on the atomic number of the object material and thickness of the object....

Non Destructive Testing is a smart quality control method that is done the components at various stages, on raw materials, after machining and after some period of service. What does this NDT company do? Non Destructing Testing is a little investment which saves a huge amount of money to the manufacturers by avoiding rejection of components due to casting or raw material defects. It is also essential to do NDT after few processing such as welding & heat treatment , as there are possibilities of metal failure due to heat involved in the process. The below are the three stages when NDT shall be involved; Raw material NDT- Casted, formed, Forged or extruded During Processing- Welding NDT, Machining or Heat Treatment After Service – During service /during maintenance checkup It is essential to involve best NDT Inspection Service Company on the job and well experienced and knowledged NDT Technicians for the job. Since the Non Destructive testing is mostly operator ...
