Extrusion Equipment 054 EE Non-Destructive Examination Predictive Maintenance Procedure for Extrusion Presses Ron Manganello and Alyssa Porter -- Carlesa NDE Services, USA Non-destructive examination is relatively unknown, even to industries that need it most. Visual inspection, radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle testing, and liquid penetrant are discussed. Process and testing examples, financial and safety benefits are highlighted.
