Applications of Nondestructive Testing in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry
2021-12-11
Nondestructive testing (NDT) is a technique that, without causing any damage to the test object, exploits the changes in thermal, acoustic, optical, electrical, magnetic, and other responses induced by internal structural anomalies or defects to detect both internal and surface flaws in various engineering materials, components, and structural parts. It also enables the identification and evaluation of defect type, nature, quantity, shape, location, size, distribution, and their evolution. With the rapid advancement of modern sciences such as microelectronics and computer technology, NDT has likewise experienced swift development. I.
