Ultra-Sound, Phased-Array & Laser UT

Advanced Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing Services and Laser Ultrasonic Technology at CICNDT

Composite Inspection & Consulting Non-Destructive Testing (CICNDT) is a leader in innovative non-destructive testing methods, including Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and Laser Ultrasonic Testing Services. These state-of-the-art technologies offer unique advantages for various industrial sectors such as aerospace, marine, and wind energy.

Our Cutting-Edge Resources

CICNDT employs advanced technology in both testing methods:

IOS research kits, including laser generators and receivers, ADC cards, scanners, and software.
Generation lasers with ultra-short pulse durations (9ns and 5-6ns), allowing precise control over ultrasonic waves.

The Benefits of Our Specialized Testing Methods

Our Laser Ultrasonic Testing Services offer several benefits:

Non-contact and Remote Operations: Ideal for inspecting high-temperature samples or those with limited access.
Small and Adjustable Footprint: Enables inspection of intricate geometries.
High Frequency: Detects very small flaws, crucial for the integrity of critical components.
Full Coverage: Utilizes a laser beam scanning method for comprehensive inspection.

Our Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) enhances capabilities in composite inspection. The technology is particularly adept at navigating the complexities of material anisotropy and high attenuation found in composites.

Diverse Applications of Our Testing Technologies

These technologies support a broad range of applications:

In-process measurements on hot, hazardous, or moving samples.
High-resolution quality assurance in manufacturing.
Inspection of complex structures such as friction stir welds and composite materials.

Pioneering Research and Practical Applications

CICNDT’s intensive research in laser-ultrasonic generation mechanisms has propelled these technologies to a readiness level suitable for critical applications like thickness measurement of steel tubes and damage detection in aircraft components. The methods involve laser thermal shock and laser ablation techniques that induce stress and generate broadband, multi-mode ultrasonic waves.
