Casting and forging

Casting and forging

Casting & Forging Flawed Specimens is a series of metal specimens containing intentional defects typical of casting and forging processes. These specimens are designed for training, qualification and defect identification in materials such as cast components, forged parts and alloy transformed elements. The sets illustrate realistic defects such as cracks, pores, inclusions and internal voids.


Key features and benefits

  • Contains samples with typical casting and forging defects, carefully placed for training and assessment

  • Comes with documentation describing error type, size and location

  • Suitable for use with multiple NDT methods such as ultrasonic, radiography, penetrant and magnetic particle inspection

  • Provides realistic challenges that resemble field conditions, improving technicians' error interpretation skills

  • Offers sample materials such as steel, alloys and other relevant metal grades


Areas of application

  • Training and certification preparation in NDT techniques

  • Use in laboratories, technical courses and educational programs

  • Demonstration and comparison of methods' ability to detect casting and forging defects

  • Internal quality control and evaluation of inspection equipment
