Non-destructive material testing processes
Non-destructive material testing processes
Non-destructive material testing processes does not permanently alter the parts being inspected. This is a valuable technique to save time and money in product development, troubleshooting or research.
Etching processes for testing materials
Etch inspection shows you segregation and processing errors.
| Process | For detection/ determination of: | For detection/ determination of: |
|---|---|---|
| Electrolytic etching of nickel-base materials |
|
|
| Blue etch anodizing of titanium-base materials |
|
|
| Chemical etching of titanium-base materials, nickel-base materials and steels |
|
|
| Local etching of all materials |
|
