Friction Stir Weld Inspection
Overview
Friction-stir welding (FSW) is a process mostly used on aluminum parts for high grade applications, notably in the Aerospace and Defense industry. Instead of using added material as is done for conventional welding methods, a tack tool is used to heat and mix the two pieces of metal in the jointed area.
FSW has multiple advantages over traditional welding methods; FSW avoids the defect types that tend to arise with liquid phase cooling in other welding methods. Additional defect types occur mostly as a result of insufficient temperatures or welding conditions; these defects must be correctly identified and sized.
Friction Stir Weld Inspection
Friction Stir Weld (FSW) Inspection System
In the past decade, there has been a significant increase in rocket launches. Fuel tanks used to propel rockets into space are built from large cylindrical components that are welded together using friction stir welding (FSW). FSW is a solid-state joining process that uses a rotating cylindrical tool to heat and mix two pieces of light metal in the jointed area. To prevent safety issues, the weld needs to be inspected in multiple directions for a variety of flaws, including lack of penetration, kissing bonds, wormholes, voids, and root and toe defects.
Evident has developed a unique robotic inspection system to inspect friction stir welds.
PipeWIZARD iX Automated Ultrasonic System for Girth Weld Inspection
The PipeWIZARD™ iX phased array ultrasonic testing system helps pipeline companies ensure the reliable validation of girth welds during the construction process. Equally rugged and compact, the PipeWIZARD iX system is designed to facilitate both onshore and offshore pipeline inspections. A highly efficient automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) solution, this powerful multitechnology detection system reveals defects in girth welds and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) so they can be quickly analyzed and evaluated.
