Non Destructive Testing by means of X-ray technologies: main clues of Radioscopy and Computed Axial Tomography tests

The inspection of solid materials and components (metallic and non-metallic) by means of X-ray technologies allows to check their internal soundness and/or to discover defects, that cannot be detected without destroying the analyzed object.

The standardization of the execution processes of X-ray inspections and of the interpretation of images (aided by a significant improvement in the image quality) has contributed to settle these testing methods that, currently, are highly demanded by sectors with very high quality requirements, such as in the automotive sector or in aeronautics. The main fields of application of the X-ray technologies are focused on homologating new designs, measuring the internal porosity of components in compliance with VDG parameters, or in the continuous improvement of transformation processes
