Abstract


Non destructive testing is a technique to test the engineering components without destroying it. It is often called as NDT and can be used to ensure the quality of components manufactured by different processes. Today, NDT finds wider applications in the areas of condition monitoring, residual life assessment and energy auditing. It is used to test the engineering parts to identify and locate the surface cracks, internal flaws without interfering the integrity of the material or its suitability for service. These methods can be applied for individual inspection or may be used for absolute 100% checking of components in a manufacturing quality control system. This review paper discusses different types of non destructive methods, it advantages and applications specifically in foundries.
