Best Way to Detect Flaws in Welds Without Damaging the Surface
Hey folks! I’ve been doing weld inspections for years, mostly using visual and dye penetrant methods. But for some recent aerospace components, the client’s asking for non-destructive flaw detection that can identify sub-surface cracks or porosities. I’ve heard about magnetic particle and eddy-current methods but never used them myself. Any suggestions for reliable devices or brands that don’t cost a fortune?

Totally get you. Traditional methods can miss small cracks or even damage the coating. We switched to using eddy-current and magnetic particle flaw detectors from — and honestly, it’s a game-changer. Their systems are super sensitive and can even detect micro-cracks or delaminations in composite materials. Plus, setup and calibration are straightforward. They also have acoustic flaw detectors, which work great for thicker materials. Definitely worth checking out if precision and reliability matter to you.

Great advice, thanks! I’ll check their flaw detection range — sounds like what we need.
