Checking for the aging condition of aluminum components like wishbones
Aging condition of aluminum wishbones is hard to detect visually or chemically. SIGMATEST correlates conductivity with aging time reliably.
Detection of magnetic impurities for quality monitoring of bearings
Residual magnetism in bearings attracts particles, causing wear or failure. MAGNETOSCOP reliably detects magnetic hotspots down to 1 µT.
Production quality monitoring for soft magnetic composites
Magnetic performance of SMCs depends on powder quality and heat treatment. KOERZIMAT 1.097 measures coercivity without specimen preparation.
Detecting magnetic inks during banknote quality inspections
Weak magnetic ink signatures on banknotes are hard to detect at speed. MAGNETOMAT reliably detects hotspots below 100 nT.
Composite pressure vessel crack detection by eddy current testing
Cracks in aluminum liners of composite pressure vessels risk leakage. STATOGRAPH eddy current testing detects defects precisely and reliably.
Hardness, tensile strength and foreign material inspection of forged products
Faulty heat treatment or material mix-ups in forged parts stay invisible. MAGNATEST enables non-destructive 100% inspection of hardness and strength.
Inspection of Multi-Layer Aluminum Structures in Aerospace
Defects in multi-layer aluminum structures can be difficult to detect from the surface. Eddy current testing enables reliable inspection of safety-critical areas, including bolt and bore holes, without damaging the component.
Freight Wagon Wheel Inspection During Reprofiling
Surface cracks on freight wagon wheels can compromise operational safety. Eddy current testing enables reliable inline inspection during reprofiling without additional handling.
Inline Crack Inspection of Cold-Rolled Steel Strip
Surface cracks in cold-rolled steel strips can lead to costly scrap and quality issues. Inline eddy current testing detects defects in real time during production.
Flaw detection, material and hardness determination with eddy current
Cracks or faulty heat treatment on hot rolling rolls cause costly downtime. Fast, portable on-site inspection prevents unplanned failures.
Recovering tungsten from recycled cemented carbide tools
Sorting mixed carbide scrap by composition is costly with conventional methods. KOERZIMAT HCJ/MS enables fast, magnetic material classification.
Automated eddy current crack detection on pressure vessels
Thinner walls in pressure vessels increase crack risk and failure danger. STATOGRAPH CM+ enables automated, reliable inline crack detection.
