We are committed to provide our customers with high-quality, custom-metal castings for their unique components. As part of that commitment, we have cultivated and maintained relationships with NDT experts able to perform a variety of non-destructive testing on component metallurgy.

Quality Assurance with NDT from the Metallurgy Experts
There are many non-destructive tests that can be performed on iron and steel components. We have the ability to send any component for NDT at customers�� request. Currently, we have the ability to send finished metal castings to a variety of non-destructive testing experts with the capability to perform several different types of NDT. Customers can specify which kind of NDT they would like when they place their order

Visual

A visual inspection is performed by a trained specialist, who uses sensory enhancing equipment (such as stethoscopes, magnifiers, and dental picks) to check the component for defects.

Radiography

This type of NDT uses x-rays or gamma rays to verify the internal structural integrity of a metal component.

Magnetic Particle

This method of NDT uses a magnetic field to check components made of ferromagnetic materials for surface/subsurface flaws and irregularities.

Dye Penetrant

One of the most commonly used and inexpensive forms of NDT, this method uses a dye to expose casting, forging, or welding defects such as hairline cracks, fatigue cracks, or surface porosity.

Ultrasonic Testing

In this form of NDT, short, ultrasonic pulse waves with center frequencies are used to detect internal flaws. It is often performed on steel components.
