Computed Tomography in Testing
Computed tomography is an X-ray-based technique that creates a three-dimensional model of a component from different projection angles. It reveals internal structures and defects without destruction.
Physicochemical Mechanism of Action
Computed tomography uses X-rays that pass through the material. The density of the material affects the penetration of the rays. A 3D model is calculated from the different projections.
Metallurgical Relevance & Testing Risks
This technique enables precise analysis of material structure, inclusions, and micro-defects. It is especially useful for complex components or when other testing methods are insufficient. Incorrect settings can lead to inaccurate results.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use computed tomography to detect internal defects in metal components. Ensure that the equipment is properly calibrated and that components are correctly positioned. Analysis should be performed by qualified technicians.
