Benefit from our casting quality control techniques | X-Ray Inspection

April 14 2025

From automotive structural castings produced by high pressure vacuum die casting to safety-critical industrial castings made by permanent mold casting, BFP utilizes the advanced X-ray technology in-house to quickly detect the metal casting failures, so customers can ensure the overall quality and reliability of their final assemblies with more confidence.


How is industrial X-ray inspection used at BFP Castings

Radiographic inspection, also referred to as X-ray, gives our NDT technicians a clear look into the internal structure of metal castings being inspected. Our experts follow all applicable radiation safety guidelines when performing X-ray inspections. We interpret the generating X-ray images and provide our clients with a detailed inspection report summarizing our findings.

By using this advanced digital radiography technology, BFP Castings engineering team can obtain detailed internal structures of castings and easily identify where we needed to make improvements to reduce entrapped voids within parts during our development and testing phases. And 100% X-ray inspection is commonly used on mission critical components due to its high level of speed and accuracy.

Casting X-Ray Inspection

Key benefits of metal casting X-ray inspection:

  • Non-Destructive Testing: Testing the same product being used, rather than damaging a sample that may or may not be representative of manufactured products.

  • Subsurface Inspection: X-ray testing can penetrate the product surface deeper than other methods, ideal for inspecting components requiring a thorough internal structure examination.

  • Real-Time Inspection: With its high-speed imaging and analysis capabilities, X-ray scanner can offer real-time inspection that match or even exceed most production line speeds.

  • Permanant Digital Records: X-ray testing creates a visual records of a metal piece's internal structure for future reference and comparisons.
