RADIO-OPAQUE ADHESIVE/SEALANT FOR VOID DETECTION

摘要

RADIO-OPAQUE ADHESIVE/SEALANT FOR VOID DETECTION A method and structure for providing radio-opaque polymer compounds for use in metal bonding and sealing. A powder filler comprising a high atomic number metal or compound thereof is incorporated into a polymer compound to render it more radio-opaque than the surrounding metal structures. Voids or other discontinuities in the radioopaque polymer compound can then be detected by x-ray inspection or other non-destructive radiographic procedure.
