Is Ultrasonic Testing Non-Destructive?

Yes, ultrasonic testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method. High-frequency sound waves are introduced into the component to detect defects and inhomogeneities within the material without damaging or altering the part. After testing, the component remains fully functional, allowing 100% material inspection during manufacturing or in-service inspections. Therefore, ultrasonic testing is a standard method used in quality assurance.
