Adhesive bonding
Depending on the structure design and material, several bondtesting techniques are possible.
Complex parts
Even simple laminates can present difficult inspection challenges when they are formed into curved panels or radius stiffened flat panels.
Fibre waviness
Using the latest technology, ultrasonic imaging of in-plane and out-of-plane fibre waviness can be performed and quantitative measurement of the fibre angle made.
Impact damage
Impact damage can quickly be identified using conventional A-scan ultrasonic inspection or advanced phased array B-scan and C-scan techniques.
Porosity and voids
Evidence of porosity can be detected in a number of ways including simple A-scan measurements through to detailed B-scan and C-scan analysis of the ultrasound echo position and amplitude.
Repairs
Wavelength NDT routinely inspect repaired laminate and can assess the degree of bonding between the repair and original laminate.
