Yes, detecting internal defects and cracks is a primary application of X-ray CT. Our systems enable the non-destructive visualization of internal flaws that are not visible from the exterior. This allows for precise identification of the defect's location, shape, and size.
Examples of Detectable Defects:
-
Voids and Porosity:
Visualize air bubbles (voids or blowholes) within resin-molded and die-cast parts, as well as voids in solder joints.
-
Cracks:
Detect micro-cracks in welded joints, ceramics, and composite materials. The CT data provides a 3D view of the crack's origin and propagation path.
-
Foreign Materials and Inclusions:
Identify foreign objects, such as metal fragments or resin inclusions, based on differences in density compared to the host material.
-
Structural Defects:
Observe delamination in layered components, bonding failures, and internal deformation.
