A practical introduction to inspection objectives, image evidence, and engineering boundaries for industrial X-ray review.
What industrial X-ray inspection reveals
Industrial X-ray inspection uses differences in X-ray attenuation to create evidence of internal structures that are not visible from the outside.
Typical reviews include solder joints in electronics assemblies, internal voids in packages, and porosity or shrinkage in castings.
From image evidence to engineering review
A useful inspection workflow defines the target, chooses a suitable view and magnification, and records observations against customer criteria.
Capability boundary
- X-ray images do not by themselves establish root cause, material performance, or product acceptance. Those conclusions require context, criteria, and engineering verification.
