Manufacturing Quality Service

Defects in materials are either present because of the faulty manufacturing processes or due to fatigue, corrosion or similar damage during service. However, it is important to have the materials of the right quality before these are accepted for being put into service. The application of NDT during manufacture is therefore very important.

The cost of manufacturing of products is enhanced ultimately by the costs of repair, rework, replacement and even a possible loss of customer as well as the costs of delay of schedules, etc. A very careful consideration has therefore to be made to the production of quality goods during manufacturing. A key item to assure the maintenance of consistent quality and productivity can be the employment of a new process involving non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection systems to assess and feedback product quality information. In a properly designed and qualified product that has been demonstrated as producible, NDT techniques have proved to be very reliable tools to assure consistent parts, materials, processes, and workmanship, as well as product quality.
