Non-Destructive Testing in the Automotive Supply Industry- Requirements, Trends and Examples Using X-ray CT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Requirements on components for automotive applications are becoming evermore stringent. Defects need to be banned and dimensional measurement of complex geometries with high resolution is required. In addition, throughput is high and production cycles may last only a few seconds. These objectives call for nondestructive testing (NDT) that keeps step with the production cycle. Production and quality measurement techniques therefore play an important role in providing customers with more economical and reliable products. We briefly compare various NDT-techniques and demonstrate the feasibility of X-ray tomography as a technique suitable for the dimensional measurement of complex structures with sub-μm resolution.
