ON Estructive Esting: (Core Elective For 3 Yr. Mech. Students)

The document discusses non-destructive testing methods including liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, thermography, eddy current, ultrasonic, and acoustic emission testing. It focuses on industrial radiography, explaining that it uses x-rays to detect internal defects by projecting shadows of variations in material density and thickness onto photographic film. Key factors covered include the interaction of x-rays with matter, types of filters and screens, geometric factors, film characteristics, and health risks from radiation exposure.

Overview
Introduction:
• industrial radiography- is one of the most widely used NDT
methods for the detection of internal defects such as porosity
and voids.
• can be examined from micro miniature electronic parts to
mammoth missiles or power plant structures
• suitable for detecting changes in material composition,
thickness measurement and locating unwanted or defective
components hidden from view in an assembled part.
• can be used on a variety of materials.
• no prior preparation of the specimen surface is necessary, unlike
with other NDT methods.
• radiography is the hazards due to exposure to radiation for the
operators, which can produce biological damage to body tissues.
• strict control of human exposure to radiation is necessary
Principle of x-ray radiography
• Purpose of radiography is to show presence and
nature of defects or other structural discontinuities in
interior of the materials under examination.
• Short wavelength electromagnetic radiations, x-ray,
gamma rays, to penetrate objects. In general, shorter
wavelength, the greater is the penetrating power.
• Radiation that enters through material, some being
absorbed in the material itself and amount of
absorption is a function of the density and thickness of
the material.
• Should there be a cavity or discontinuity in the interior
of the material, the beam of radiation will have less
material to pass through than solid material.
• Consequently, there will be a variation in the
absorption of the rays by the material in the
defective area.
• Variation, if recorded in film, produces an image
that will indicate the presence of the defect.
• Image is an x-ray shadow. Thus radiography is
based on the principle of shadow projection.
• Shadow picture is called radiograph.
• Variation in darkness is to provide info. about
internal structure of material.
• Detector- photographic film.
