High-Energy Computed Tomography for Large Components

High-energy computed tomography is a non-destructive inspection technique for thick-walled cast and forged parts using high-energy radiation.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

High-energy CT uses high-energy photons that travel through the material. The density and structure of the material affect the radiation transmission. This information is displayed in computer images.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

This technique allows precise inspection of weld quality and internal defects without mechanically stressing the part. It helps detect cracks, porosity, or incomplete penetration.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use the unit in a shielded environment and pay attention to safety from high-energy radiation. Ensure the material is clean and free of dirt or contaminants, as these can affect image quality.
