NDE - Non-destructive examination or Non-destructive evaluation plays a very significant role in almost all the Engineering industries (employing weld fabrication as a major manufacturing process) as a Quality Assurance - QA measure to ultimately cut down the Quality Cost and thus to enhance the profitability. Right from the raw material selection, all through the entire manufacturing cycle (including all the bought outs procurement) - components to assembly - and up to the final despatch stage of the engineering product, the role played by NDE is highly important. Infact, the professional design engineer uses the confidence provided based on NDE in order to reduce ‘factors of safety’ even though the added advantage thus ensured comes with additional cost element (by multiple NDE methods deployment for welding / manufacture). All the advancements happening in typical weld fabrication industries, viz, in steam boiler manufacturing industry.......
