What is Non Destructive Testing ?

Image
 Non Destructive Testing , NDT , is industrial method for analyzing the characteristics of material or finding the discontinuities in the material & Weld joints, without damaging the material. NDT is otherwise called as, Non Destructive Evaluation –NDE, Non Destructive Inspection (NDI) and it a quantitative analysis method. Whereas Destructive Testing is a Qualitative analysis method, to find the quality of the material such as Tensile strength, Elongation property, hardness value, Impact toughness, etc The above mentioned qualitative properties cannot be found using NDT methods. This is  because in order to find the mechanical properties, it is required to apply load on the material. The load deforms the material  making them not usable. But NDT Methods are used in such a manner, that the material can be reused after the testing. This area answer some of the FAQ Frequently asked Questions What is NDT? What is the use of NDT?

Few of the NDT Methods which are used in industries for Defect detection in materials are given below: Ultra...

What is Mechanical Testing or Material Testing?

What is Mechanical Testing or Material Testing? Mechanical testing involves finding strength of the material or quality of material by application of load mechanically. There are different mechanical testing for materials. They are Tensile test, Bend Test, Impact Test, Macro Etch Test, Micro Analysis, Inter granular Corrosion test, Vickers Hardness Test, Brinell Hardness test and includes Spectro Chemical Analysis. Why is Mechanical Testing on Materials required? Mechanical tests mentioned above are essential for materials to conclude the quality of materials. The material grades are designed for some specific application, in order to withstand the loads and environment in the application. The materials grades should achieve the minimum specified property. These minimum required quality specifications are verified by manufacturer after pouring the material and manufacturer should provide a mill test report. What is MTC / What is Mill Test Report ? Mi...
