Quality requirements for large forgings—which are used in particular in the power generation industry in the form of turbine and generator rotors—have risen steadily in recent years. For this reason, ...

Observer POD for RT

Article:
AIP Conference Proceedings 04/2015; 1650:562–570
DOI: 10.1063/1.4914654
Publisher: AIP Publishing LLC

The radiographic testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method capable of finding volumetric and open planar defects depending on their orientation. The radiographic contrast is higher for la...

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
