Description
INTRODUCTION
Non-Destructive Testing (also termed Non-Destructive Evaluation) involves the use of non-invasive techniques to determine the reliability and characteristics of a material, component, or structure. Testing for surface flaws, internal flaws or material condition is possible without interfering in any way with the integrity of the material or its suitability for service. Defects can arise from the raw materials used, material processing, component assembly, and in-service conditions. NDT methods not only locate defects but provide additional information about that defect such as its size, shape, and orientation.
This introductory class will examine and discuss seven frequently used non-destructive testing methods, each based on a specific scientific principle. The various methods and techniques, due to their particular nature, may lend themselves especially well to certain applications, while being of little or no value in other applications. You will be provided with the information that
you will need to understand, and successfully employ the correct testing method for your particular need/application.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
On completion of this workshop, the participant will be able to:
- Understand the various uses and benefits of NDT
- Learn how to select the appropriate NDT technique for each particular testing need
- Recognize what equipment and associated setup is necessary to perform the NDT technique selected
- Identify the resolution limitations for the data obtained from the selected NDT technique and equipment
- Learn about the advantages and limitations of NDT
- Recognize how each NDT method works including an introduction to the physics and mechanisms behind each of the NDT methods presented
- Learn about the various types of defects that can be detected by the selected NDT technique.
- Understand how to select the proper NDT technique to be used based on the material, part geometry, defect size, and other characteristics of the flaw to be detected and analyzed
- Be aware of the precision required for each measurement, and how to select the appropriate NDT technique and the associated equipment to produce reliable data
- Understand the principles of, and how to properly apply and analyze the data produced by the following NDT methods: radiography, Eddy current, visual examination, acoustic emission, ultrasonic testing, liquid dye penetrant, and magnetic particle inspection.
- Understand NDT Standard Practices and Certifications
- Be aware of proper equipment calibrations and measurement standards

INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Al Pucino received his Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering at Stony Brook University and subsequently managed materials and processes engineering departments in his career in the aerospace industry. His responsibilities included material design, processing and analysis. In addition, while in industry, he served as project leader on several multi-million-dollar research and development programs.
Dr. Pucino, formally of Goodwin University, joined in 2013 as the Director of the Manufacturing AS and BS degree programs in the Department of Business, Management and Advanced Manufacturing. He then successfully developed the Incumbent Worker Training Program in 2016 and assumed the position of Program Director and Principal Instructor. Dr. Pucino, who also held the position of Associate Professor at Goodwin, is a UTC ACE Associate and holds a Six Sigma Yellow Belt. He has instructed as an adjunct professor in the Engineering Department at Central Connecticut State University.
Dr. Pucino is currently a consultant for ARB Global Consulting LLC. He has also provided technical consultation to the United Technologies Research Center, among other businesses. Dr. Pucino has received achievement awards throughout his career, and has published technical papers, patents, as well as has delivered technical presentations at engineering society conferences and manufacturing association summits.
