Abstract

Inspection reliability of small-scale defects, targeting dimensions below 100 µm, is crucial for structural safety of critical components in high-value applications. Early defects are often possible to repair, contributing for the circular economy and sustainability by allowing extended life and reuse of components. During in-service operation, the small-scale defects are typically originated from creep, fatigue, thermal cycles, and environmental damage, or any combination of these multiphysical loading conditions. What are thresholds in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques to detect and reliably characterise small-scale defects? What is the state of the art of NDT-based solutions, in terms of small-scale…
