Non-destructive testing (NDT) is essential in manufacturing to detect defects early, ensuring raw materials and finished products meet industry standards. By identifying flaws before production completion, manufacturers can reduce costly recalls, improve product reliability, and maintain compliance with strict regulations.

NDT is widely used to inspect raw materials, ensuring metals and composites are free from cracks, voids, or inconsistencies before fabrication. It also plays a key role in weld inspections, verifying structural integrity in pipelines, machinery, and heavy equipment. Additionally, NDT helps assess cast and machined components, detecting surface or internal flaws that could compromise durability.

By integrating NDT into production, manufacturers enhance quality control, reduce material waste, and maintain compliance with standards like ISO 9001 and ASTM.

Two key NDT methods in manufacturing are Eddy Current Inspection (ECI) and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), both crucial for detecting flaws in metal components.

Eddy Current Inspection (ECI): Uses electromagnetic currents to identify surface cracks, corrosion, and inconsistencies in conductive materials. It is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and precision machining industries to verify component integrity and coating thickness.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI): Ideal for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials, MPI ensures weld integrity in critical structures like bridges, pipelines, and heavy equipment.
