Today's high-speed, high tech world demands stringent standards of quality assurance. Any manufactured good requires rigorous testing prior to use, and the field of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) plays an important role in testing and quality control within manufacturing processes.

Working in NDT, you will examine and test products and materials for quality standards by means that do not affect their usefulness. You might perform tests on aircraft structures, engines and components, or conduct tests upon welds in the manufacture of pressure vessels and other steel fabrications.

NDT and analysis provides data to evaluate ductility, strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and fatigue properties of metals. As an NDT Technician you will use various techniques such as radiography, ultrasonics, liquid penetration and magnetic particle testing. You will also use your testing skills to ensure the correct operation of machinery within assembly processes.
