Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) refers to inspection methods used to evaluate the integrity of materials without compromising their final use. At the Technical Laboratory of Ramada Aços, we apply these methods for the quality control of metallic alloys, including large-scale components. NDT is ideal when long-term material integrity is required, especially in demanding industrial applications, without resorting to invasive or time-consuming procedures.
