Non-Destructive Testing
Our NDT Disciplines
We specialize in two key NDT methods, performed in compliance with industry standards to meet the rigorous demands of the aviation sector:
- Magnetic Particle Testing (ASTM E-1444): This technique uses magnetic fields and iron particles to identify surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. It’s ideal for detecting cracks, seams, and other flaws in critical aviation components like engine parts and landing gear.
- Fluorescent Penetrant Testing (ASTM E-1417): Employing fluorescent dyes that penetrate into surface-breaking defects, this method reveals imperfections under ultraviolet light. It’s highly effective for non-ferrous materials and complex geometries, ensuring thorough inspection of items such as turbine blades and structural fittings.
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with the latest tools and technology to conduct these tests efficiently and accurately.
