Use of X-ray radiography in finding defects in metal-matrix composite casts

Abstract

The aim of the carried out studies was to establish in what degree X-ray radiography is useful for finding defects in metal-matrix composite materials. These materials have various defects due to their specific composition. Especially when we take composites produced with casting methods into consideration. An effort to establish a degree of the influence of the phenomenon of electromagnetic diffusion on the boundary of matrix/ reinforcement phases was made in the results analysis of the studies.
