A novel ultrasonic non-destructive technique to assess the mechanical properties of metallic nanomaterials without defacing the tested specimen’s surface has been developed.
As the usage of polymer nanocomposites in engineering material grows, so does the need for more stringent quality control and assurance to maintain and evaluate performance and efficiency.
Common nondestructive testing tools used for nanoanalysis are SEM coupled with energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, piezoquartz crystal microbalances, Eddy current, and acoustic emission method.
Manufacturers require non-destructive testing (NDT) to analyze the qualities of a material, component, structure, or system for distinctive variations, welding faults, and discontinuity without causing harm to the original part.
