INCREASING THE ACCURACY OF DEFECTOSCOPY BY THE METHOD OF ACTIVE THERMOGRAPHY OF PRODUCTS MADE OF NON-METALLIC HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS AND USED IN ENGINEERING

Abstract

Nowadays, non-metallic heterogeneous materials are widely used in mechanical engineering, which is primarily due to their unique properties, such as strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, and high vibration, sound, and heat insulation characteristics. At the same time, non-destructive control methods that would allow to obtain the most complete picture of the defective state of products made of such materials are of great importance. The main task of the work is the development of optimal algorithms for determining each defect of a product made of non-metallic heterogeneous material with the establishment of its exact location, including the depth of occurrence, as well as its geometric parameters. The method of thermal non-destructive testing is considered promising. Studies of the accuracy of determining the parameters of defects in non-metallic heterogeneous materials by the specified method have been carried out.
