NDT ( NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING )

NDT (NON DESTRUCTIVE  TESTING) :- 

Non Destructive Testing in great variety are in world  wide used to detect variations in structure,minute changes in surface finish, the presence of cracks or other physical discontinuities,measure  the thickness  of materials  and  coatings  and  to  determine other characteristics of industrial products.

NDT (MPI)
REASON'S FOR THE USE OF NDT:

"NDT" is used by the manufacturers for the following reasons: 
1. To ensure product reliability.
2. To make profit for the user.
a)   To ensure customer satisfaction
b)  To aid in better product reliability.
c)   To control the manufacturing processes.
d)  To lower the manufacturing costs.
e)   To maintain uniform quality level.

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON NDT METHODS ARE :
1.VISUAL  INSPECTION
2.LIQUID PENETRATION TEST
3.MAGNETIC PARTICLE TEST
4.RADIOGRAPHY  TEST
5.ULTRASONIC  TEST

RADIOGRAPHY TEST

RADIOGRAPHY TEST INTRODUCTION : Industrial radiography is a nondestructive test method that uses X-rays or Gamma rays to show the presence and certain characteristics of internal discontinuities in solid materials. The method is based on the ability of X-ray or Gamma-ray radiation to penetrate solids, to a degree that varies with such factors as wave length of the radiation, and type and thickness of the material part of the radiation penetrates the material and part is absorbed. The amount absorbed and the amount transmitted are a function of the thickness of the material. Where a void or discontinuity exists, there is essentially less material to absorb the radiation. This creates a different in absorption, a difference that registers on photographic emulsions. The result is a shadow picture called a radiography Radio-graphic Sources : The common gamma ray radio-graphic sources : Cobalt - 60 Cesium - 137 Iridium - 192 Thulium - 170 Gamma Ray Radiography : Gamma rays ar...

What is Annealing ?

Annealing:- Annealing  Process :- Annealing is a heat treatment process by which the properties of steel are enhanced to meet machinability requirements. In this process Hypoeutectoid steels (less than 0.83% carbon) are heated above upper critical temp., soaked and cooled slowly and  Hypereutecoid (above 0.83%) are heated above lower critical temp., soaked and allowed to cool slowly. Annealing  Process Steps: 1.Heat material into the asutenite region (i.e. above 1600F) – rule of thumb: hold   steel for one hour for each one inch of thickness 2.Slowly furnace cool the steel – DO NOT QUENCH 3.Key slow cooling allows the C to precipitate out so resulting structure is coarse  pearlite with excess ferrite 4.After annealing steel is quite soft and ductile The purpose of Annealing is : 1)Reduce hardness and brittleness 2)Alter microstructure for desired mechanical properties 3)Soften...

Rockwell Hardness Test

Rockwell Hardness Test The Rockwell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond cone or hardened steel ball indenter. The indenter is forced into the test material under a preliminary minor load FO usually I 0 kgf. When equilibrium has been reached, an indicating device, which follows the movements of the indenter and so responds to changes in depth of penetration of the indenter is set to a datum position. While the preliminary minor load is still applied an additional major load is applied with resulting increase in penetration . When equilibrium has again been reach, the additional major load is removed but the preliminary minor load is still maintained. Removal of the additional major load allows a partial recovery, so reducing the depth of penetration. The permanent increase in depth of penetration, resulting from the application and removal of the additional major load is used to calculate the Rockwell hardness number.        ...
