The Entity in Charge of Maintenance – ECM for short – is responsible for safe and reliable maintenance in the railway sector.

With increasing regulation, longer product life cycles and growing requirements for safety and verifiability, NDT – and therefore inspection supervision – is becoming noticeably more important.

A recent feasibility study shows how imaging methods could replace conventional radiographic techniques in industrial weld evaluation.

A subject that leaves no room for doubt: Measurement uncertainty in destructive testing (DT) and non-destructive testing (NDT).

Modular vocational retraining as a materials testing technician: flexible, eligible for funding and practical. Ideal for career changers and companies.

Small amounts of delta ferrite are often present in austenitic steels. But how does it affect corrosion resistance?

Behind this festive image is an SEM micrograph from materials testing: dendrites in a shrinkage cavity in a cast steel component.

A tensile sample shows unusually low elongation after fracture. Fractographic examination of the fracture surface reveals the cause: a shrinkage cavity in the material.

Metallography is a branch of materials testing and materials science concerned with examining the internal structure of metals and alloys.

Phased array has significantly advanced ultrasonic testing in non-destructive testing. How do conventional UT and PAUT differ, and when is the modern method worthwhile?
