Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Positive Material Identification (PMI)
A method that characterizes a material quantitatively and qualitatively by measuring the characteristic radiation released from atoms by X-rays.
X-ray analysis is a method used for elemental and chemical analysis. The main advantages of this method are its short analysis time, sensitivity, ease of use, non-damaging nature and the low cost of the equipment required.
Atoms exposed to X-rays become ionized and can lose inner-orbital electrons; as upper-orbital electrons fill the vacancy, a photon corresponding to the energy difference is released. This emission has the characteristic energy of the atoms; detecting these energies characterizes the material quantitatively and qualitatively, verifying the alloy.
