Eddy Current Inspection is a non-destructive testing method used to identify defects and anomalies in titanium products. It involves passing an alternating current through the product using a probe, which creates a magnetic field. The resulting eddy currents that are induced in the material are then measured and analyzed to detect any flaws or irregularities in the product’s composition.

Radiographic inspection is a non-destructive testing method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to detect structural flaws or defects in metals, including welds. By passing high-energy radiation through the metal, an image of the internal structure of the metal is created, which is then analyzed to detect any cracks, voids, or other defects that may compromise its integrity or ability to function properly. This method is widely used in manufacturing and construction industries where the structural integrity of metals is vital to the safety and performance of various structures and equipment.

As a part of our quality control process, we utilize ultrasonic thickness gauges to inspect the thickness of metal structures such as pipes, tanks, vessels, and tubes. These gauges use high-frequency sound waves to accurately measure the thickness of the metal, helping to ensure that the product meets the required specifications and is able to perform its intended function with maximum efficiency.

PMI (Positive Material Identification) testing is a non-destructive method used to determine the chemical composition of materials used in the manufacturing of titanium products. This testing helps to ensure that the chemical composition of the product meets the required standards and specifications. At Hele Titanium, we use advanced PMI testing techniques to provide our customers with high-quality and reliable titanium products that meet or exceed their expectations.

Dimensional inspection is a testing process that ensures that the dimensions of the manufactured product are in accordance with the customer’s specifications and drawings. This test verifies that the product has been produced to the required size, shape, and tolerance levels. It is a critical step in the production process, as it helps to ensure that the final product will perform its intended function with maximum efficiency and reliability. Our team uses advanced measuring tools and equipment to perform dimensional inspections on all of our titanium products, ensuring that they meet or exceed our customers’ expectations.

Tensile testing is a crucial evaluation of the strength and ductility of titanium products. This test measures the amount of force a material can withstand before it breaks or deforms permanently. By applying a pulling force to a titanium sample, we can determine its ultimate tensile strength and other mechanical properties. The results of tensile testing are essential for determining if a titanium product is suitable for its intended application and for ensuring the safety and reliability of the product in use.

Ultrasonic inspection is a non-destructive testing method that uses high-frequency sound waves to assess the quality of products manufactured using titanium. The ultrasonic instrument is passed through the material, and if there are any defects present, they are detected by analyzing the echoes of the sound waves that bounce back. This testing method is used to identify any hidden cracks, voids, or other internal defects that may compromise the integrity of the product or its performance.

Penetration testing is a non-destructive testing method used to detect defects in forgings and U-shaped titanium tubes. During the testing process, a liquid penetrant is applied to the surface of the product, which seeps into any surface defects. After a specified period, the excess penetrant is removed, and a developer is applied to the surface. This highlights any defects that were previously invisible to the naked eye. The test can detect the level, type, and sensitivity of any defects, allowing for corrective action to be taken if necessary.

Chemical testing is an essential process that allows us to check the quality of the titanium material we use. This testing helps us to determine the purity level of the material, as well as the level of granularity present. By performing chemical testing, we can ensure that our products meet the required industry standards and are free from any impurities or defects that may compromise their quality or performance.
