Centre for Non-destructive Evaluation at CSIR-National Metallurgical Laboratory, Jamshedpur for materials characterisation and damage evaluation: an Overview

Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) centre established in 2003, with a partial funding from Department of Science & Technology (DST), Govt. of India at CSIR- National Metallurgical Laboratory, Jamshedpur has developed different NDE based methodologies for characterisation of microstructure and assessment of different kinds of damage (creep, fatigue, corrosion etc) for diverse components from aerospace, defence, power and steel sector.
Besides, need based development of NDE sensors and techniques for specialised applications are also the integral part of Centre activities. This paper will highlight some of the above activities particularly the research activities on fatigue and corrosion damage evaluation in structural materials by advanced NDE.
