Shaft, Forging & Casting NDT Inspection in Boksburg
Deep volumetric UT scanning to detect internal voids, shrinkage cracks, and forging laps in heavy raw material components — before expensive machining.
Raw material manufacturing is susceptible to unique defects. During the solidification of castings or the intense deformation of forging, internal voids, shrinkage cracks, porosity, and laps can form deep within the metal, completely invisible from the surface. If these components are machined and put into service without inspection, they are highly prone to sudden, catastrophic failure.
Deep Penetration Ultrasonic Testing
FlawTech provides specialized Non-Destructive Testing NDT Boksburg to evaluate these heavy, thick-section components. Because of the massive thickness and complex geometries of industrial shafts, gears, and castings, we deploy advanced Ultrasonic Testing with low-frequency probes (1-2 MHz) capable of scanning deep into the core of solid steel forgings and castings.
This allows us to identify internal anomalies before our Boksburg and East Rand clients waste expensive machining time on a compromised piece of metal.
What We Inspect
- Drive shafts and winder shafts for the mining industry
- Gear blanks, pinions, and slew rings
- Steel castings for crusher plants and heavy equipment
- Forged flanges, hubs, and couplings
- Raw material receiving inspection for fabrication workshops
Frequently Asked Questions
At what stage should castings be inspected?
Ideally after stress relieving but before machining. This catches internal defects before expensive machining operations begin.
What size of component can you inspect?
We can inspect components from small flanges to multi-tonne castings and shafts. Our equipment handles material thicknesses up to 500mm+.
