Quality check of H282 castings by Computed Tomography (CT) technique

Abstract

As a part of the international project carried out at the Foundry Research Institute in Krakow in cooperation with Energy Industries of Ohio, anopen induction furnace melting technology and gravity casting of nickel superalloys have been developed. These alloys have been processed plastically so far.
Quality control of Haynes 282 alloy (H282), was made with X-ray computed tomography (CT). CT is a non-destructive method that combines X-ray examinations with advanced computer technology.
Selected results of the research obtained from the X-ray computer tomograph have been presented in the paper. Research were made by using the GE Phoenix v/ tome/x l-450 tompgraph type belonging to the Foundry Research Institute equipment. All operations related to the processing of CT data were performed using the datos/x-reconstruction and VGStudio Max 2.0 software.
