Describe X-ray NDT: Film is exposed to x-rays and developed. Dark areas indicate a possible defect. Does not indicate depth of defect. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:23 GMT view revision history
Eddy current NDT can be used on what materials? Not limited to material type. Composites are OK. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:23 GMT view revision history
Describe Eddy Current NDT: AC current builds up a magnetic field. A good part (baseline reference) and test part (differences) are needed for comparison. Test looks at Eddy current changes from good part to defective part. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:23 GMT view revision history
Describe Through-transmission NDT: A pulse is sent through the test part to a receiver on other side of part. Defects block pulse and reduces amount of energy transmitted. Training required. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:23 GMT view revision history
Describe Pulse-echo NDT: A pulse is sent through a part and the defect will appear via reflections, CRT indicated defects and approximate location. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:23 GMT view revision history
Describe Resonance NDT: Comparison technique which uses a good part to look for differences when a test part is resonated with sound. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:23 GMT view revision history
What are the 4 sound techniques for NDT? Tapping
Resonance
Pulse-echo
Through transmission

Magnetic Particle Inspection. Disadvantages: Ferrous parts only.
Large machine needed.
Lots of power needed.
Expensive machine required.
0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Magnetic Particle Instpection. Name advantages: Detection to 1/2 depth of surface.
Somewhat cleaner than Dye Penetrate.
0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Slurry types magnetic particle detection are: Magnaglow for UV - white lines
Magnaflux - visual or daytime, red slurry with filing.

When a part is held on end for magnetic particle inspection what direction are the lines of flux and what type of crack is best detected? Head shot - flux lines are Radial and an axial crack is easiest to detect. Think, Head, parallel lines of flux, perpendicular crack detection. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
When a coil is place around a part for magnetic particle inspection what direction are the lines of flux and what type of crack is best detected? Coil shot - flux lines are axial and a radial crack is easiest to detect. Think, Coil, straight lines of flux, perpendicular crack detection. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
What are the 2 Mag Particle inspection types? What are they called this. Coil shot - coil is place around part. Head shot - part is squeezed between two electrodes. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Describe Mag. Particle Inspection process. Set up machine and magnetize the part. Apply slurry with iron particle that indicate problems. Demagnetize by slowly removing from AC field. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
What problems can Magnetic Particle Inspection find. Cracks and issues down to 1/2 inch under surface. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
What material can Magnetic Particle Inspection be used on? Only iron based, must be able to be magnetized. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
What is Dye Penetrate used for and on what materials? Surface issues on plastic, glass or metal. Non porous materials. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Describe Dye Penetrate process. Apply Cleaner (Gross Clean)
Penetrate -gets in cracks.
Fine Clean - remove all but product in cracks.
Developer - Spot Check or Zyglo
Inspect
0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Name the Dye Penetrate methods. Spot check for daytime visual. Zyglo for UV light use. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Describe Visual NDT. Eye ball... use mirror, flashlight, magnifying glass. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Describe Rockwell hardness testing Machine penetrates material and measures the depth. Returns a number for a scale referenced to kpsi. 100 Red Ball for lower kpsi scale is 0-130, 150 black Bralle for harder, scale is 0-100. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Describe Brinnel Hardness testing: machine places a small dent in metal and then measures diameter. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Two types of Hardness testing are 1) Brinnel
2) Rockwell

Toughness is withstands tearing, shearing and may be stretched or otherwise deformed without breaking. Hard but malleable, not brittle. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Yield point is point at which a material does not return to original shape. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Elastic range is range where a given piece of metal will return to its original shape. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Ductility is ability to be drawn, bent or twisted without breaking. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Malleability is opposite of brittle. ability to tolerate deformation without failure, hammered or rolled pressed without cracking, breaking or some other detrimental effect. 0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Brittleness is inability of a material to resist bending or deformation without shattering.

Brittleness is directly proportional to hardness or strength.
0 CAVUMark Sat, 17 May 2008 22:43:22 GMT view revision history
Hardness is ability to resist abrasion, penetration, cutting action or permanent distortion.

Hardness is directly proportional to strength.
