Modern Non-Destructive Testing

Modern non-destructive testing (NDT) philosophy's focus is on acquiring information and linking further with process knowledge for all processes in the entire material and product life cycle. This information about materials and products plays an increasingly central role in the value-added chain of life cycle processes, from their creation (new materials, production) and use in products (maintenance, wear) to their disposal (recycling, re-use, up-cycling). Each phase in which the matter, the material or the resulting product is considered provides different insights and information that are highly relevant for its continuation in the value creation chain.
