Abstract

Ultrasonic techniques are very widely used for the detection of internal defects in materials, but they can also be used for the detection of small surface cracks. Ultrasonics are used for the quality control inspection of part processed material, such as rolled slabs, as well as for the inspection of finished components. The techniques are also in regular use for the in-service testing of parts and assemblies.
