ASM Handbook. Nondestructive Evaluation and Quality Control

0-87170-007-7

Provides you with an easily understood, valuable reference of modern methods for nondestructive evaluation and statistical analysis. With the help of 1,100 illustrations and 150 tables, you’ll learn how to select, use, and interpret nondestructive methods for evaluating the quality of parts and assemblies. The basic principles of each method along with its corresponding capabilities are outlined in 23 separate articles.
