Non Destructive Examination (NDE)
• Non Destructive Examination is the act of evaluating a welded component (or material to
be welded) without affecting the serviceability of the part or material.

NDE
• All Welds have flaws.
• Another name for a flaw is a discontinuity
• Discontinuities are interruptions in the normal crystalline structure (or grain) of the metal.
• Discontinuities are NOT always defects

NDE
• The purpose of welding inspections is to locate and determine the size of any discontinuities
• Discontinuities that are to large or repeat too often within the weld become defects
• Defects will compromise the welds overall strength

What are some common defects?
• Porosity
• Undercutting
• Rollover or “Cold Lap”
• Slag inclusion
• Poor penetration
• Voids
• Hydrogen Embrittlement

Typical faults in a finished weld.

How would you find these faults ?
Non Destructive Examination
NDE
![Page 8: Non Destructive Examination (NDE) Non Destructive Examination (NDE) Non Destructive Examination is the act of evaluating a welded component (or material](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551aa285550346856e8b45c0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Common methods used in NDE
• Visual Inspection (VT)
• Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT)
• Liquid (Dye) Penetrant Inspection (PT)
• X-Ray inspection (RT)
• Ultrasonic testing (UT)
• Air or water pressure testing (LT)

Visual Inspection (VT)
• Visual is the most common inspection method
• VT reveals spatter, excessive buildup, incomplete slag removal, cracks, heat distortion, undercutting, & poor penetration
• Typical tools for VT consist of Fillet gauges Magnifying glasses, Flashlights, & Tape measures or calipers.

Visual Inspection (VT)
• Fillet gauges measure – The “Legs”of the weld
– Convexity• (weld rounded outward)
– Concavity• (weld rounded inward)
– Flatness

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT)
• Magnetic Particle Inspection (commonly referred to
as Magnaflux testing) is only effective at checking for flaws located at or near the surface.
• MT uses a metallic power or liquid along with strong magnetic field probes to locate flaws. (Particles will align along voids)
• MT can only be used on materials that can be magnetized
![Page 12: Non Destructive Examination (NDE) Non Destructive Examination (NDE) Non Destructive Examination is the act of evaluating a welded component (or material](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551aa285550346856e8b45c0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Liquid (Dye) Penetrant Inspection (PT)
• Liquid penetrant inspection uses colored or fluorescent dye to check for surface flaws.
• PT will not show sub-surface flaws.
• PT can be used on both metallic and non metallic surfaces such as ceramic, glass, plastic, and metal.
• PT dose not require the part to be Magnetized.

X-Ray inspection (RT)
• Welds may be checked for internal discontinuities my means of X- Rays
• An X-Ray is a wave of energy that will pass through most materials and develop the negative image of what it passes through on film.
• A Radiograph ( X-Ray picture) is a permanent record of a weld used for quality inspection purposes
• RT inspections can reveal flaws deep within a component

Ultrasonic testing (UT)
• Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a method of determining the size and location of discontinuities within a component using high frequency sound waves.
• Sound waves are sent through a transducer into the material and the shift in time require for their return or echo is plotted.
• Ultrasonic waves will not travel through air therefore flaws will alter the echo pattern.

Air or water pressure testing (LT)
• Pressure testing or leak testing can be performed with either gasses or liquids.
• Voids that allow gasses or liquids to escape from the component can be classified as gross (large) or fine leaks.
• Extremely small gas leaks measured in PPM (parts per million) require a “Mass Spectrometer” to Sniff for tracer gases
