THE IMPORTANCE OF NDT IN THE ALUMINUM INDUSTRY

The aluminum industry plays a crucial role in the global economy by providing a versatile, lightweight, and durable material that meets the needs of numerous sectors. Thanks to its exceptional properties, aluminum has become indispensable in various fields such as aerospace, automotive, construction, packaging industry, energy, medical, and many others. Non-destructive testing (NDT) plays a key role in the aluminum industry to ensure the quality, safety, and compliance of products and structures made from this material.

This is why CMS has developed reliable and specialized testing systems using Eddy Current and Ultrasonic technologies for a wide range of applications: machined parts, plates, thin sheets, wires, cables, tubes and bars, billets, and more. Our goal is to ensure optimal quality by detecting all types of defects (cracks, corrosion, porosity, etc.), minimizing the risk of failure in demanding environments, enhancing the industry’s competitiveness by adhering to international standards, and increasing customer satisfaction.

CMS EXPERTISE

  • Defects detection: surface, subsurface, internal, external, transverse, longitudinal, oblique defects, holes, cracks, corrosion…
  • Material sorting, mix grades
  • Heat treatment verification and hardness inspection
  • Conductivity measurement
  • Dimensional and thickness measurements
  • And much more…

 

Combined Eddy Current and Ultrasonic inspection is also possible for more complete control.

CERTIFIED INSPECTION SYSTEMS

All our Ultrasonic and Eddy Current systems comply with the latest European and international standards, including EN, ISO, SAE, ASTM, AMS and more.

Our dedicated teams are available to collaborate on your project, working with you to develop an efficient, customized solution that addresses your specific needs and constraints.

 MAIN ADVANTAGES

  • State-of-the-art inspection NDT systems: CMS systems are fully customizable to suit the specific product being inspected, as well as your detection requirements and constraints. Robust and compact, they are able to work in harsh environment.
  • Early Defect Detection: CMS systems help identify cracks, porosities, inclusions, or other internal or surface defects with high sensitivity  and high speed at early stages of production.
  • Preservation of Material Integrity: CMS NDT systems allow the inspection of aluminium applications without altering them, meaning they can continue to be used after testing.
  • Enhanced Security: By identifying weaknesses in aluminium structures or equipment, CMS systems reduce the risk of accidents.
  • Production Quality Control and Certification: CMS systems ensure parts comply with strict industry standards and better management of industrial risks. 
  • Real Time Inspection: Thanks to our high-performance CMS software, inspection results are displayed in real-time ensuring continuous quality control.
  • Precise defect analysis and traceability: Comprehensive inspection reports with complete traceability tracking are created at the end of the control.
