PRODUCTS NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING PART WHEN ANALYZING THE CAUSES OF FAILURES AND ESPECIALLY OF THEIR CHOICE IN APPLYING IN SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

Abstract

The important role of non-destructive testing methods as a source of information in evaluating the aircraft products quality is exposed. The problems of unreasonable choice of nondestructive testing methods in the evaluation of the aircraft products technical state are denoted and the ways to solve this problem through correct nondestructive testing methods choice in the concrete conditions are identified. A clear classification of NDT methods according to the criteria: applicability in limited conditions, the sensitivity in detecting the most dangerous defect - crack, weld defects and corrosion damages detection are given.
