Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a group of analysis techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage. Unlike destructive testing, NDT does not permanently alter the item being inspected, making it a valuable technique that saves both time and money in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research.
 

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Services at ASR Metallurgy

Non-Destructive Testing Overview: At ASR Metallurgy, we offer a range of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services. These tests are crucial for evaluating the properties of materials without damaging them, ensuring their integrity and reliability in various applications.

​

1. Radiography Test:

• Equipment Used: Radiography Test Machine

• Test Methods: ISO:17636 PT 1, IS 1182

• This method involves using X-rays or gamma rays to create images of the internal structure of a material. It's widely used for detecting internal flaws such as cracks, voids, or inclusions in metals.

​

2. Ultrasonic Test:

• Equipment Used: Ultrasonic Test Machine

• Test Methods: EN 10228, ASTM A609

• Ultrasonic testing uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal defects. It's effective for evaluating the thickness of materials and identifying flaws like cracks and porosities.

​

3. Magnetic Particle Test:

• Equipment Used: Magnetic Particle Test Machine

• Test Methods: EN:1369, ASTM E709

• This test detects surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. It involves applying a magnetic field and iron particles to the surface, where the particles will gather around any discontinuities.

​

4. Liquid Penetrant Examination:

• Equipment Used: Liquid Penetrant Examination Tools

• Test Methods: ASTM E1417, ISO:3452-1

• Suitable for finding surface-breaking defects on non-porous materials, this method uses a dye to penetrate any flaws, which are then highlighted under ultraviolet light.

​

5. Visual Examination:

• Equipment Used: Tools for Visual Examination

• Test Method: ISO:17637

• The simplest form of NDT, visual examination involves inspecting a component for surface flaws and irregularities. This can range from a basic visual check to the use of magnifying tools and cameras for detailed inspection.
