Time of flight diffraction (tofd) technique for accurate sizing of surface breaking cracks
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study for evaluation of TOFD technique for determination of size of the surface breaking cracks was conducted. But difficulty was experienced using TOFD to size defects extending less than about 2mm depth, due to the presence of the lateral wave which obscures the tip-diffracted signals from the defects close to the surface and also due to inherent lack of time resolution near the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) technique for accurate sizing of cracks embedded in sub-cladding
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study for evaluation of the TOFD technique for determination of size of cracks embedded in sub-cladding was conducted. But the results were confined to simulated cracks (machined slits) underneath the cladding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immersion and TOFD (I-TOFD): A Novel Combination for Examination of Lower Thicknesses
TL;DR: In this paper, a new methodology based on a simple and novel combination of TOFD and the immersion technique has been proposed by the authors that successfully extends the application of ToFD to thinner sections down to 3 mm.
Journal Article
Time of Flight Diffraction Testing of Austenitic Stainless Steel Weldments at Elevated Temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used time of flight diffraction for testing stainless steel weldments at high temperature (423 K) and found that the diffracted signal amplitude decreases and hence the image contrast decreases with increasing temperature.
Journal Article
Image processing for enhanced quality assurance of sheathed thermocouples
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the application of digital image processing techniques for the quantitative evaluation of features in radiographs of small diameter (less than 4 mm) sheathed thermocouples.
