TestingWeldability testsOn the shop floor, as in laboratories, destructive testing remains the main means of quality control of spot welds. After hand or mechanized weld destruction, the so-called "plug diameter" is measured and is usually considered a good indicator of the weld quality. However...
A literature search of current rail joining methods was conducted. In addition, several rail weldments were fabricated and subjected to nondestructive and destructive testing. The purpose was to evaluate rail joining methods for use at Naval facilities as well as to develop a suitable nondestructive ...

This chapter provides an overview of the common types of defects found in various structural materials and joints in aircraft. Materials manufacturing methods (including large-scale production) have been established in the aircraft industry. However, as will be seen in this chapter, manufacturing defec...
The quality of the clads was assessed using non-destructive tests. Subsequently, microstructural analysis was carried out on the test samples taken from the renovated wheels, by means of light microscopy. On the cross cuttings, the course of hardness was evaluated using Vickers analysis. The ...
