Micro Non-destructive Testing and Evaluation

<p>This book discusses the manifold applications of several non-destructive methods to a few classes of materials.</p><p>In particular X-ray imaging techniques (both in the laboratory and at synchrotron radiation sources) as well Eddy current and magnetic methods are used in a few example materials (metals concrete and others) to assess the quality of large components and these techniques' suitability as materials characterization tools.</p><p>Advanced non-destructive evaluation techniques such as neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction only available at large-scale installations are also shown to yield particularly relevant information about the residual stress of additively manufactured materials and components. Such large-scale techniques complement laboratory tools well in accessing all the scales of application from micro-level to conventional non-destructive techniques.</p>
