Types of Non-Destructive Metal Testing

a testing that requires sampling or cutting samples directly from the material of the object, while the object itself remains inoperative

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

hardness measuring (hardness testing) by pressing special indenters (balls, diamond tips), when a dent remains on the object surface)

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

an organoleptic testing performed by the visual organs that perceive the radiation of an object in the visible spectrum

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

a testing that is carried out directly at the facility, while a serviceable facility remains operational without any material damage

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

metallography (study of the object metal structure; requires cutting thin sections)

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

laboratory chemical analysis of the object material (requires drilling a certain amount of chips)

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

styloscopy (assessment of the steel grade by the composition of the optical spectrum of the volt arc created between the styloscope electrode and the object surface where the burn remains)

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

a testing that is carried out directly at the facility, while the facility itself remains operational

• destructive testing

• damaging testing

• non-destructive testing

• Visual Testing

laboratory mechanical tests of the object material in tension, compression, bending, impact strength (requires cutting special samples - templates).
