SCC crack detection in SS We have witnessed SCC in one of our columns, the cause of SCC is the Chroride presence in wet insulation. Now what NDT is usefull to detect the extent of attack quickly & effectively. PT we have done, MT is not applicable, How about Phased Array Eddy Current, is it sensitive enough to detect micro cracks, what about Omniscan. Do you think Metallography would help. | |

Detection of SCC for your application can be accomplished with OD Creeping Waves very effectively. OD Creeping Waves have been demonstrated to detect cracks on the scanning surface with a depth of 0.005 inches and less.
Phased Arrays are equally effective for detection and sizing of SCC. Even Phased Array using Creeping Waves would be effective.
Some questions are: what is the material type and what is the thickness.
Is detection your only concern. Do you need to size these Stress Corrosion Cracks.
What is your Critical Flaw Size?
To conclude this is a very easy application using Conventional OD Creeping Waves or using an OmniScan Phased Array System. The images you will get with the OmniScan will significantly help with detection and characterization.

You can use TOFD to detect, size and carcaterized the SCC probably your unique limitation could be the thickness, however I could detect this kind of cracks in low thickness (9mm Lab testings). The setttieng-up (probes, frequency,size) is the clue for this application | |
| | |  NEW! The PragmaPro Instrument PlatformThe PragmaPro is based on a modular cartridge technology and supports various NDT
instrument modal ... ities such as UT, PAUT, ECT and many more. This new platform is
based on a machined, powder-coated aluminum frame for shock-proofness, best sealing
qualities and maximum heat dissipation. This is practical to extend the outdoor
temperature range and/or to extend the power injected in the transducers. The
PragmaPro is aiming at a very wide range of applications, such as weld scanning,
corrosion mapping and composite testing. >  GEKKO - Portable Phased Array Testing with TFM in Real-TimeThe portable phased array testing system GEKKO provides 64 parallel test channels. On creating testi ... ng parameters the operator is assisted by the CIVA software. Due to its modular set-up the GEKKO instrument is suitable for operators of all skill levels. >  YXLON Cougar EVO Scalable small footprint X-ray inspection systems for assembly and
laboratory applications.
The ... YXLON Cougar EVO series was designed to provide the "best-in-
class" inspection solutions for SMT, semiconductor, and laboratory
assembly applications, while maintaining a small system footprint
for maximum convenience. With optimized software and hardware, these
systems produce higher quality and more consistent results than
other electronics inspection systems currently on the market. >  Varex Imaging Large Field of View (FOV) Digital Detector Arrays (DDAs)A larger FOV DDA can reduce the space and volume of the X-ray inspection system on the factory floor ... , enable faster scanning times, better throughput and better resolution images at a lower dose. Customers can also save time and money. With these benefits in mind, Varex Imaging has designed a family of large FOV detectors (4343HE, XRD 1611, 4343DX-I, 4343CT) for our industrial imaging customers. > |
