We are committed to delivering reliable and precise testing solutions for the aerospace industry. Our advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services provide critical quality assurance and structural integrity verification without compromising the tested materials. We specialize in two NDT techniques tailored to meet stringent industry standards: Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT).
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
Overview
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is a widely used surface inspection method that involves applying a liquid penetrant to the material’s surface to reveal surface-breaking flaws. PT is effective in detecting cracks, seams, and surface porosity, especially in materials like castings, forgings, and welds. The test process is straightforward, making it a cost-effective choice for routine inspection and maintenance.
Applications
Castings and Forgings: PT helps uncover surface imperfections that can impact the performance and fatigue life of cast and forged components.
Weld Beads: This technique is effective for inspecting surface-breaking defects in welds, such as hairline cracks or incomplete fusion, ensuring that welded parts meet rigorous aerospace requirements.
Advantages
With PT, aerospace manufacturers and operators gain an accessible and reliable testing method that delivers fast results, enhancing the safety and quality of high-performance components.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Overview
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) uses high-frequency sound waves to inspect the internal structure of materials. By transmitting sound waves into a component and analyzing the reflections, UT can detect subsurface defects, thickness variations, and material properties. This technique is particularly suited for aerospace applications, where high reliability and precision are essential.
Applications
Composite and Metal Components: UT is highly effective for detecting delaminations, voids, and inclusions within composites, as well as subsurface cracks in metal components.
Bonded Structures and Welded Joints: UT is often used to inspect bonded aerospace structures and welded joints, ensuring material cohesion and structural integrity without requiring surface modifications.
Advantages
Ultrasonic Testing provides a fast, reliable way to identify internal flaws without damaging the material, making it ideal for high-performance and safety-critical aerospace components. Its accuracy and adaptability make it a preferred choice for inspecting complex and layered structures.
