1、Best Practices Entry: Best Practice Info:a71 Committee Approval Date: 2000-04-17a71 Center Point of Contact: MSFCa71 Submitted by: Wil HarkinsSubject: Radiographic Testing of Aerospace Materials Practice: Radiographic testing can be used as a nondestructive method for detecting internal defects in t
2、hick and complex shapes in metallic and nonmetallic materials, structures, and assemblies.Programs that Certify Usage: This practice has been used on Saturn I, IB (b) analyze the image to determine the nature and extent of any abnormal condition in the test piece; (c) evaluate the test piece by comp
3、aring interpreted information with standards or specifications; and (d) report inspection results accurately and clearly. The major advantages and disadvantages of radiographic testing are listed in Table 3.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS
4、refer to D descriptionD Table 3. Advantages and Disadvantages of Radiographic Testing Technical Rationale:Radiographic testing has been used successfully at MSFC for years to identify and characterize cracks, voids, inclusions, porosity, lack of weld penetration, lack of fusion in welds, and ma
5、ny other types of defects. Radiographic testing is an accurate and reliable nondestructive testing method for determining defects and flaws internal to materials, structure, and assemblies. It is also used to detect defects and flaws in both metallic and nonmetallic materials.References:1. MIL-HDBK-
