Evolution of the Ultrasonic Inspection Requirements of Heavy Rotor Forgings Over the Past Decades

Conference Paper:
NDT Portuguese National Conference 12/2014, At Lisbon, Portugal; 3
DOI: 10.13140/2.1.4993.9526

Heavy rotor forgings for land-based power generation turbines and generators are inspected ultrasonically. Several decades ago the first inspections were conducted using manual, straight beam, contact...

Induction and Conduction Thermography: Optimizing the Electromagnetic Excitation Towards Application

Article:
AIP Conference Proceedings 03/2009; 1096:518
DOI: 10.1063/1.3114299
Publisher: AIP

Active thermography, using electromagnetic excitation, allows detecting defects like cracks which distort the flow of current in the component under examination. Like other thermography techniques it ...
