The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies performs aerospace NDI services, exceeding client expectations by providing comprehensive solutions in compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Nondestructive Inspection in the Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry uses nondestructive inspection (NDI) methods to analyze the structural integrity and safety of critical components without damaging or impacting the sample. NDI plays a crucial role in detecting flaws or inaccuracies that may result in costly repairs, personnel injury, unplanned downtime, revenue loss, and other adverse outcomes.
Aerospace NDI Services at ATS
ATS’ certified NDI technicians routinely inspect air inlets, combustion chambers, fan blades, fasteners, fittings, fuselages, landing gears, rivets, and turbine engines. We employ surface and subsurface techniques to locate corrosion, cracks, delaminations, disbonds, gouges, impacts, pitting, porosity, tears, wear, and other defects.
We provide a broad scope of aerospace NDI services, such as:
- Eddy Current Testing (ET)
- Capable of fulfilling all surface and some subsurface requirements
- Coating measurements
- Conductivity Testing
- Liquid Penetrant (PT)
- Stationary and mobile penetrant inspections
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- Detects both surface and subsurface discontinuities
- Superior depth of penetration or measurement for flaw detection
- Only single-sided access is required
- Radiography Testing (RT)
- Inspection capabilities for assembled components
- Minimum surface preparation required
- Detects both surface and subsurface flaws
- Provides permanent inspection records
- Magnetic Particle (MT)
- Detects surface and subsurface flaws
- Inspects large surface areas of complex or irregular ferromagnetic parts rapidly
- Directly detects flaw indication on the surface location
