Title: Development of detection method for defect in the casting and evaluation method of material properties for steel using magnetic non-destructive testing

Speaker: Prof. Kenji Sakai

Abstract: Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an essential technology for ensuring the safety of structures and products. Until now, many NDT methods have been developed and used in the practical field. However, the NDT method should evaluate new materials and products because many high-performance materials and products are developed recently. In this presentation, the magnetic NDT method which is non-contact and composed of simple system is introduced and its application to the evaluation of defect generated in the casting and material properties for steel which are difficult to evaluate using the conventional NDT method is presented.
