While fasteners may not be expensive end items, failure in critical applications can cause catastrophic effects. Criterion NDT provides in-line heat treat and crack non-destructive testing systems to verify the integrity of all part coming off an assembly line.

In its 2000 annual survey, Quality Magazine found that only 43.9% of manufacturers were performing “in-process” inspection of parts. Today, the same survey indicates 95% are doing so. Criterion NDT’s eddy current testing systems are designed to seamlessly integrate into modern manufacturing processes and support in-process inspection.

During the past couple of years we have all witnessed many changes. Factories have closed and people have either lost jobs or been shuffled around within their existing organizations. Those who were fortunate enough to retain employment may have found themselves in new positions and may also have aquired added responsibily for departments, personnel and equipment. Criterion NDT is here to help support those companies and the individuals who use the Zetec or Uson Eddy Current “Component Testing” Instrumentation. If you need assistance with your component testing application, or just have an interest in a quick “refresher” on the operation of the test instrumentation, please give us a call at 1-253-929-8800.
Article titled “Eddy Current Validates Critical Heat Treat Processes” published in the June 2011 issued of Quality Magazine. The article covers the utilization and benefits of eddy current testing for automated in-line evaluation of heat treated products. http://digital.bnpmedia.com/publication/?i=71537&p=70
Criterion NDT will present a paper on Advancements in Eddy Current Heat Treat Testing at the 2011 Quality Conference. The Conference takes place from April 11th – 13th in Charlotte, NC. For more information on the the Conference, visit http://www.qualitymagconference.com.
GM expanded an earlier recall of some 2011 model-year trucks and SUV’s due to a heat treatment process failure of a rear axle cross pin.
This is another prime example of why proper heat treatment process verification/material structure testing of critical components with eddy current is so important.
It’s likely that a rear axle cross pin is a relatively inexpensive part to produce, but the cost of failure can be many times greater. Properly installed and operated eddy current test systems can help to reduce and/or eliminate the risk of experiencing this type of product failure.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to add eddy current testing to your manufacturing quality process. Like insurance, you’ll be very glad you had it when you needed it.
