In every community, unseen forces are at work safeguarding the structures we rely on. Behind them stand NDT professionals whose skill and integrity protect public safety.
Beginning with this issue of Materials Evaluation, we’re proud to debut NDT Hero Adventures—a nine-part comic series that brings real NDT methods to life through heroic inspection challenges, illustrated by Eddie Pompa.
In Episode 1, Captain Sonic uses ultrasonic testing to uncover a hidden flaw before disaster strikes.
Liquid Leak Tightness Standards for Propulsion Battery Packs Recommended Practice
The rapid rise of electrified propulsion systems has intensified the demand for safe, reliable, and watertight battery packs. Responding to this need, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has issued J3277/1_202501, a new recommended practice that establishes nondestructive in-line production test methods for evaluating liquid leak tightness in propulsion battery packs.
The standard addresses a critical gap by defining robust qualification, verification, and validation procedures that meet industrial expectations for safety, durability, and energy security.
Navigating Ethical Dilemmas as an NDT Professional
10 February | Live Webinar
Ethics aren’t theoretical in NDT. They’re critical to public safety and trust. Join us for Navigating Ethical Dilemmas as an NDT Professional, a live ASNT webinar exploring how NDT professionals respond when faced with unethical requests, and how to strengthen your own ethical decision-making.
Build practical math and physics skills for magnetic particle testing (MT). This course covers unit conversions, magnetic field calculations, lighting requirements, and key MT concepts used in inspection.
Did you know you can use a Slinky to teach students about ultrasonic testing? The ASNT Foundation’s specially-designed experiments are crafted to enhance learning through practical, real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding and interest in NDT technologies.
In “Making Waves with a Slinky,” you’lll demonstrate transverse, longitudinal, rotational, circular, Rayleigh, and torsional waves with a slinky and relate mechanical wave motion to sound waves and NDT applications.
