SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF MOLDS AND CRUCIBLES USED IN INVESTMENT CASTING |
摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods useful for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of molds and crucibles used in investment casting processes, including, without limitation, for producing aircraft engines, land-based turbine engines, and the like. According to one aspect, the present disclosure provides a system for non-destructive evaluation that includes a support, a 3D scanning device, and a computer component. According to another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for non-destructive evaluation that includes the steps of: providing a system for non-destructive evaluation of a mold or crucible according to the present disclosure; securing a mold or crucible to the support of the system; and operating the 3D scanning device of the system in conjunction with the computer component in order to create a 3D structure difference map that indicates whether the mold or crucible falls within or outside a desired structural integrity parameter range. |
