Non- Destructive

Testing of Materials
Year 12 Engineering Studies – Civil
Structures
Testing of Materials
Destructive Testing; involves testing of materials until
failure resulting in destruction of test piece or sample.
Destructive tests are generally carried out to determine
the mechanical properties of materials
- tensile/compression testing
- impact testing
- transverse beam testing

Non-destructive testing; involves examination of materials


and components for defects and flaws either as part of the
manufacturing process or during routine maintenance
checks
- hardness testing
- dye penetrant testing
- radiographic testing (X-ray)
- ultrasonic testing
- magnetic particle testing

Radiographic Testing (X-ray)
• uses either x-rays or gamma rays to
examine the internal structure of
manufactured components identifying
any flaws or defects
• the test-part is placed between the
radiation source and film (or detector).
• X-rays that passing through the object
are captured behind the object by a
detector (either photographic film or a
digital detector)
• faults and defects such as internal
cracks and voids will appear as white
areas on the exposed film

Dye Penetrant Testing

• used to detect surface cracking in


component
• after cleaning the component is
sprayed with a coloured or fluorescent
die which seeps in the crack
• after rinsing a developer is applied
which draws the die out of the crack
and is either visible to the naked eye
(colour contrast) or under ultraviolet
light (fluorescent die)

Ultrasonic Testing

• used to detect sub-surface cracking and defects


such as delamination of laminated materials
• sound waves are passed through the material
and reflected back to a receiver
• sound waves that hit a defect are reflected back
sooner and allow identification of the defect
• has the advantage of only requiring access to on
side of the component

Magnetic Particle Testing

• a magnetic field is generated in the component


to be tested
• magnetic particles are either sprinkled over the
component or applied in a suspension fluid
• the particles will congregate at the site of a
defect due to the disruption of the magnetic
field that occurs at the defect
