Nondestructive Inspection
Nondestructive inspection, or NDI, is the process of evaluating materials, components, and assemblies for irregularities or differences in characteristics without damaging the serviceability of the system or part. NDI allows for thorough and relatively quick evaluations of assets, a crucial step towards ensuring continued performance and safety on the job site. It is also helpful in detecting common defects, which include:
- Longitudinal Cracks
- Lack of Fusion
- Elongated Voids
- Porosity
- Cold Laps
- Slag Inclusions
- Lack of Penetration
- Crown Undercuts
- Offsets or Mismatched
- Tungsten Inclusions
- Oxide Inclusions
- Burn-Through
- Shrinkage Porosity
- Quench Cracks
