Task 2
Non-destructive testing is an analysis technique used to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.
Advantages
Safety
Non-destructive tests are designed to maximize both tester and tested product safety. Most of the test are conducted under strict settings to ensure the safety of the testers, and all tested products remain completely undamaged.
Reliability
Non-destructive testing comes out with accurate results because of the variety of available and complementary testing options. You can perform a number of non-destructive tests on one piece of equipment, which eliminates the risk of oversight or inaccuracy.
Affordability
Non-destructive tests would always be the more affordable option. Destructive testing methods usually cost a lot more as …show more content…
Destructive tests
Destructive testing (DT) includes methods where your material is broken down to determine mechanical properties
Advantages
A lot of information on the materials properties can be found through destructive testing for example Tensile testing is used to find the following properties of a material:
The yield stress- Point at which a material goes from experiencing elastic deformation to plastic deformation.
The ultimate tensile stress- Maximum strength a material can withstand while being pulled or stretched.
The elastic range- The range which a material will recover its original form when a force or loading is removed.
The ductile range- Range at which a material can deform under tensile stress
The modulus of elasticity- tendency of an object to deform along an axis when opposing forces are applied along that axis.
These properties can’t be examined with non-destructive methods, as parts of the material must be taken for
