Nondestructive Inspection
Nondestructive inspection (NDI), also known as nondestructive testing (NDT) or nondestructive evaluation (NDE), is the examination of components, materials, and structures without damaging or impacting the subject’s integrity. This process combines several different types of testing methods to detect irregularities and defects, which can help to prevent accidents, reduces costs, and meets regulatory standards. NDI detects specific damages, including:
- Lack of Fusions
- Offsets or Mismatched
- Porosity
- Elongated Voids
- Quench Cracks
- Burn-Through
- Cold Laps
- Longitudinal Cracks
- Oxide Inclusions
- Slag Inclusions
- Shrinkage Porosity
- Lack of Penetration
- Tungsten Inclusions
- Crown Undercuts
