Radiography is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses penetrating radiation (typically X-rays or gamma rays) to examine the internal structure of materials and components. The radiation passes through the test object and creates an image on radiographic film or digital detector, revealing internal features like:
• Voids, cracks, and porosity
• Inclusions and material variations
• Weld defects
• Assembly errors
• Wall thickness variations
The process is similar to medical X-rays but typically uses higher energy radiation for industrial applications. The darkness variations in the resulting image indicate differences in material density or thickness, allowing inspectors to identify defects without damaging the test piece.
