Analysis of a typical ceramic-to-metal assembly using digital radiographic method was carried out at the request of a user division using constant potential X-ray emission and electronic image capture device. The experiment assisted in evaluation of the design and fabrication process of such components indigenously.
A dedicated X-ray based industrial digital imaging and volume computed tomography facility for advanced non-destructive evaluation has been upgraded and setup at DIR&ICT laboratory at HIRUP. The system is meant for research and development in computational radiation based imaging methods for industrial applications.
