Fatigue crack initiation and growth in a 35CrMo4 steel investigated by
infrared thermography. Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, 28(1-2), 169-178.
Infrared thermography devices are used to analyze the intensity of infrared rays naturally emitted by objects and then to visualize temperature distribution.
Infrared thermography is not a new technique for on-line weld monitoring.
The main application of
infrared thermography in the civil sector lies in construction thermography.
The TVS-500EX will be showcased at the
Infrared Thermography Solution Seminar 2007 at the Tokyo International Forum on February 28, 2007.
The distribution of the surface temperature was recorded for each type of rotor during the cooling phase utilizing
infrared thermography. After a cooling time of five minutes, the HESC rotor had cooled down uniformly to a temperature at the surface of about 20-30[degrees]C/68-86[degrees]F, while the conventionally configured rotor cooled down unequally, with the heat retention greatest at places inside the wings, where the wall is very thick.
Infrared thermography used in roof inspection is beneficial in reducing the number of hours spent on pinpointing areas that need repair; identifying leak areas before they become a major cause of property damage or mold; reducing total structure replacement; and assisting in nondestructive investigation.
Investments in
infrared thermography will return handsomely when used as part of a well-planned maintenance program.
The technique for making radiation visible is called thermal imaging or
infrared thermography (IRT)
