Abstract: A probe for a magnetic remanence measurement method, in particular for detecting foreign material deposits and inclusions in hollow spaces, the hollow spaces being formed in a non-ferromagnetic material and the foreign material deposits and inclusions being made of a ferromagnetic material, wherein the probe includes at least one magnetic field sensor, at least one first and one second magnet, the magnets being configured before the at least one magnetic field sensor in a direction of introduction into the hollow space, and being situated relative to one another in such a way that their pole axes run non-parallel to one another.

Abstract: A method and a device are for testing the detectability of at least one flaw in a component, or for evaluating ultrasonic signals of the flaw. The method provides for an electronic specification of the flaw to be generated, which includes a two-dimensional or three-dimensional point pattern. This specification predefines the number, position, shape, orientation, and dimensions of flaws to be deliberately generated. A test specimen is produced, where for each point of the point pattern, a microcrack is generated at the position of this point. An ultrasonic image of the test specimen is recorded and evaluated. The test specimen may be made out of a material transparent to visible light, e.g., crown glass, optical glass, borosilicate glass, or quartz glass. The microcracks may be produced, using internal laser engraving.

Abstract: A rotational machining and quality assurance method for thermally extruded linings of turbomachinery are provided. First, a harder top coating is removed by turning, then the lining is finish-turned to size. During the finish-turning, defined turning parameters are maintained and a cutting force characteristic is quantitatively detected and stored. The force characteristic is compared with predetermined limit values, and, depending on the result of the comparison, the lining is approved for use or is produced again.

Abstract: A device is provided for ultrasonic testing, particularly for monitoring the measuring precision and the calibrating of high resolution ultrasonic testing apparatus or ultrasonic testing heads. The device includes a powder-metallurgically produced test piece element. The test piece element includes insert elements immovably fixed to an interior surface of a capsule. Powder is provided in the capsule which is poured to surround the immovably fixed insert elements. The powder is subjected to changed temperature and pressure thereby forming the test piece. A process for producing the apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A structural component is made by providing a main body and applying fibre material to the body so as to adjust the coefficient of thermal expansion and/or the modulus of elasticity of the main body. If the main body is made by molding, the fibre material may be embedded in the main body while the molding material is still soft. The fibre material may be loose long fibres adhesively secured to the main body. The fibre material may be a layer having a fibre orientation arranged in the direction in which stress is experienced by the structural component and/or the direction in which expansion of the structural component is to be resisted. Several layers of fibre material may be applied to the main body with the fibre orientation of different layers being in different directions.

Abstract: A process for determining the interactions between a solution and a body immersed in the solution, comprising the steps of measuring the sound emission from the body, such as sound waves in the ultrasonic range, while the solution and body are interacting and using this measurement to determine the interaction. The process can be used, inter alia, during the chemical removal of material from a body by a solution, such as chemical etching, to determine the degree of exhaustion of the solution. Moreover, the sound emission can be used in the control of further interaction between the solution and body.
