ASTM E1742-18

ASTM E1742-18 establishes the minimum requirements for the radiographic examination of metallic and nonmetallic materials. The criteria for the radiographic examination in the specification are applicable to all types of metallic and nonmetallic materials. The requirements expressed in the specification are intended to control the quality of the radiographic images and are not intended to establish the acceptance criteria for parts and materials. The specification doesn’t cover the safety precautions that should be taken when performing the inspection.

Precision Welding for Semiconductor Applications

The semiconductor industry is built on precision, where even the smallest imperfections can compromise device performance. Welding plays a crucial role in the assembly of semiconductor components, ensuring reliable electrical connections, robust structural integrity, and hermetic sealing.

The Competitive Edge: Streamlined Manufacturing with Single-Vendor Welding and Laser Marking

Every step in the manufacturing process presents an opportunity to create a competitive advantage. One often-overlooked strategy for gaining a competitive edge is consolidating critical processes, specifically welding and component identification, with a single, specialized vendor.

TIG, MIG, EB, or…? Choosing the Right Welding Technology Goes Deeper Than Identifying Acronyms

Choosing the wrong welding technology for your application can cause significant consequences: weak joints that fail under stress, excessive heat distortion that ruins precision components, or contamination that compromises material integrity.
