  2. Delamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delamination

    Visual inspection is useful for detecting delaminations at the surface and edges of materials. However, a visual inspection may not detect delamination within a material without cutting the material open. Tap testing or sounding involves gently striking the material with a hammer or hard object to find delamination based on the resulting sound.

  3. Cargo scanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_scanning

    The cobalt-60 units use gamma photons with a mean energy 1.25 MeV, which can penetrate up to 15–18 cm of steel. [6] [7] The systems provide good quality images which can be used for identifying cargo and comparing it with the manifest, in an attempt to detect anomalies. It can also identify high-density regions too thick to penetrate, which ...

  4. Scanning acoustic microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_acoustic_microscope

    Scanning acoustic microscopy works by directing focused sound from a transducer at a small point on a target object. Sound hitting the object is either scattered, absorbed, reflected (scattered at 180°) or transmitted (scattered at 0°). It is possible to detect the scattered pulses travelling in a particular direction.

  5. Acoustic microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_microscopy

    The notion of acoustic microscopy dates back to 1936 when S. Ya. Sokolov [1] proposed a device for producing magnified views of structure with 3-GHz sound waves. However, due to technological limitations at the time, no such instrument could be constructed, and it was not until 1959 that Dunn and Fry [2] performed the first acoustic microscopy experiments, though not at very high frequencies.

  6. Fluorescent penetrant inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_penetrant...

    Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) is a type of dye penetrant inspection in which a fluorescent dye is applied to the surface of a non-porous material in order to detect defects that may compromise the integrity or quality of the part in question. FPI is noted for its low cost and simple process, and is used widely in a variety of industries.

  7. Delamination (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delamination_(geology)

    Delamination is a likely source for the heat pulses. [3] The tectonic development of collapsed mountain belts is heavily debated. Some argue that delamination causes a second uplift along with crustal thickening, heating and volcanism. Others argue that delamination causes collapse and thinning of the crust.

  9. Dye penetrant inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye_penetrant_inspection

    The oil and whiting method used in the railroad industry in the early 1900s was the first recognized use of the principles of penetrants to detect cracks. The oil and whiting method used an oil solvent for cleaning followed by the application of a whiting or chalk coating, which absorbed oil from the cracks revealing their locations.
