Description
The expertise of CEIT-IK4 in the development and calibration of customised non destructive testing systems based on electromagnetic techniques can be applied to in-process and production-related quality control of manufacturing metallic components:
- Grinding burns and grinding process control.
- Residual stresses (created during the manufacturing process or by cold-working processes such as shot peening).
- Control of thermal treatments, hardness gradients.
- Cracks and pores, surface defects through Cr-coating.
- Microstructural characterization, retained austenite.
