Course Objectives

At the end of this course, the student will learn:

  • The most common NDT methods,
  • NDT detection of metallurgical properties of metals their composition and size differences,
  • Application of nondestructive evaluation for metallurgical processes and products,
  • NDT detection in service produced defects mainly caused by thermal shock, fatigue, creep, or by corrosion attack.

Course Content

General description of most common NDT methods. NDT detection of metallurgical properties of metals their composition and size differences, Application of nondestructive evaluation for metallurgical processes and products. NDT detection in service produced defects mainly caused by thermal shock, fatigue, creep, or by corrosion attack.


Course Learning Outcomes

Student, who passed the course satisfactorily will be able to:

  • Know the basic concepts of NDT testing;
  • Decide, select, use and interpret proper nondestructive methods for inspection and evaluation of engineering materials;
  • Evaluate the materials and structures for the causes of discontinuities, which interfere with the usefulness of the part and thus find solutions to problem;
  • Application of NDT to different engineering fields.
