Industrial X-Ray Computed Tomography
Industrial X-ray computed tomography is a method that creates a three-dimensional model of a component from many X-ray images taken at different angles to precisely visualize internal defects.
Physical and Chemical Mechanism
The technique uses X-ray radiation that passes through the material and is absorbed differently depending on density. Multiple images are taken from different directions and converted into a 3D model by computer processing.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
This method is especially useful for testing weld quality, internal crack defects, and material structure. Incorrect settings or lack of calibration can lead to inaccurate results, increasing the risk of misdiagnosis.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
To achieve precise results, the X-ray machine must be properly calibrated and the component positioned correctly. Imaging should be done under controlled conditions to compensate for factors like humidity or temperature.
