Thermal Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE)

Sensitive infrared cameras can be used to monitor energy flow processes in a wide range of components and materials, often with minimal or no surface preparation. The example below is of a rod bending process, where the rod is work-hardened during bending and as a result experiences a peak temperature rise at the bend centre of approximately 0.7 K.
