Survey of Flash X-Ray Techniques and Applications

摘要

Flash x-ray diagnostics of high-speed dynamic tests need to be reliable as the test may be quite expensive and time-consuming. Preparation for a first-time test can involve many partial or preliminary tests to verify adequacy of x-ray energy, x-ray exposure, film/screen combination, film-holder protection, flash x-ray-generator protection, triggering, and timing techniques. Once these preparations have been successfully completed, very informative results are attainable for a variety of tests including jetting, welding, and casting. (ERA citation 08:054539)
