Nondestructive Testing and Transient Electromagnetic-Thermal NDT

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage. NDT technologies have a crucial role in various industrial applications in the aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, petrochemical, transportation, civil, marine, and defense industries. There are currently hundreds of NDT methods being investigated or applied in the science and technique fields, which can be categorized as optical, acoustic, electromagnetic, infrared/thermal, or radiography NDT. Transient electromagnetic-thermal NDT techniques with a lot of advantages, such as high speed, great depth, high sensitivity, width spectrum, low cost, and easy quantification, are widely investigated in various industrial fields.
