Porosity where it matters

A pore in a thick rib is harmless; the same pore under a sealing face or in a load path is not. CT gives the position of every pore in the part, so that acceptance can follow the function of each region.

Penetration decides the system

A thin-walled aluminium housing is a task for microfocus CT. Thick sections, steel and large castings need high-power sources or a linear accelerator.

Typical parts

  • Aluminium and magnesium die castings
  • Gearbox, motor and electronics housings
  • Large structural castings
  • Steel and iron castings
  • Investment castings
