ASTM E1417-16

ASTM E1417-16 establishes the minimum requirements for conducting liquid penetrant examination of nonporous metal, and nonmetal components. The penetrant examination processes described in this practice are applicable to in-process, final, and maintenance (in-service) examinations. These processes are applicable for the detection of discontinuities, such as lack of fusion, corrosion, cracks, laps, cold shuts, and porosity, that are open or connected to the surface of the component under examination.

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.
