Ensayos No Destructivos

This document outlines a course on non-destructive testing methods. The course introduces students to various physical principles used in non-destructive testing, including electromagnetic, ultrasound, optical and others. Students will learn how to select the appropriate testing method based on the material, piece, and expected defects. They will also learn how to interpret standards and complete technical reports. The course involves both theory and hands-on laboratory sessions where students perform tests to verify outcomes. Assessment includes exams, lab works, and a final project applying non-destructive testing to a given piece.

ME527 – NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

I. GENERAL INFORMATION
CODE : ME527 Non-Destructive Testing
SEMESTER : 9
CREDITS : 3
HOURS PER WEEK : 5 (Theory–Practice–Laboratory)
PREREQUISITES : ME429 Physical Metallurgy
CONDITION : Compulsory
DEPARTMENT : Metallurgical Engineering

II. COURSE DESCRIPTION


The course prepares students in the application of the different non-destructive testing
methods for the detection of defects and discontinuities in a piece owed to problems during
the formation process, fabrication process or along the piece use and operation. Non-
destructives tests are based on the application of physical principles mostly electric,
magnetic, electromagnetic, ultrasound, optical, among others. Students select the most
appropriate method depending on the type of material or piece (characteristics and
properties), and type of expected fault. The course also aims to motivate students in non-
destructive tests and transformation metallurgy research.

III. COURSE OUTCOMES


At the end of the course, students:
1. Design the most appropriate non-destructive testing method for the detection of specific
defects in a given piece of machinery, equipment, vehicle or industrial installation.
2. Explain the physical principles underlying the selected non-destructive testing.
3. Select proper equipment and instruments, as well as the required processes to
implement the selected non-destructive testing method.
4. Interpret specific technical norms and standards setting the processes of non-destructive
testing.
5. Complete technical reports with the results of non-destructive tests fulfilling norms and
standards.

VI. METHODOLOGY
The course takes place in theory, practice and laboratory sessions. In theory, faculty
presents and analyze concepts and methods. In practice sessions problems related to
different non-destructive testing methods are solved and analyzed. In laboratory sessions,
students perform experimental tests and verify expected outcomes and results. After each
laboratory experience, students submit a report describing procedures and summarizing
results and conclusions. At the end of the course, students complete an actual project
applying non-destructive testing methods to a given piece.

VII. GRADING FORMULA


The Final Grade PF is calculated as follow:
PF = (EP + EF + PL) / 3
EP: Mid-term Exam EF: Final Exam
PL: Average of Practical and Laboratory Works.
