Applications
In the last 25 years, use of pulsed thermography as a viable NDT modality has evolved from a curiosity to a “go to” technology for many applications previously addressed by other standard NDI techniques like UT, X-Ray, eddy current, etc. Today, pulsed thermography is widely used in the aerospace, power generation and automotive industry sectors all over the world. Much of this success is attributed to TWI’s vision and passion to advance, develop and introduce to market state-of-the-art solutions to meet a broad range of application requirements.
