Casting & Welding Inspection
Radiographic non-destructive testing is used to detect flaws in castings and welds. The combination of microfocus X-ray technology and industrial X-ray computed tomography (mico ct) enables defect detectability in the micrometer range and provides three-dimensional images of low-contrast defects.
Moreover, castings can be measured three-dimensionally using Computed Tomography.
