WelcomeWe are glad that you have decided to join us at the 2018 ASNT Annual Conference. We know that your time is valuable and we hope that the conference schedule that has been put together will be a good return on your investment.

On the following pages you will find information about our keynote and plenary speakers, short courses, the technical program, the exhibitors, special events and more.

Some of the Conference highlights for this year are:

Mobile AppBe sure to download the Conference App! This printed Onsite Guide is compiled several weeks in advance while the mobile app is continually updated and contains the most current information. You will find downloading instructions on page 59.

Morning LecturesNationally known speaker, Ruben Gonzalez will be the Keynote Speaker on Monday. A seemingly “ordinary guy,” Ruben Gonzalez wasn’t a gifted athlete. He didn’t take up the sport of luge until he was 21. Against all odds, four years later he was competing in the Winter Olympics. At the age of 47 he was racing against 20-year-olds in the Vancouver Winter Olympics! Tuesday’s general session will feature the 2018 Lester/Mehl Honor award winner Dr. Glenn Light. The morning lectures will conclude on Wednesday with a plenary on NDT 4.0 by Ripi Singh. All Lectures begin at 8:00 am.

Technical SessionsThe ASNT Annual Conference brings together many great speakers each year to present three full days of sessions. Beginning on Monday at 8am, the technical sessions will feature topics such as Chemical & Petroleum, Ultrasonics, NDT 4.0. and more!

Exhibit Hall & Innovation ForumFeaturing more the 200 exhibitors, the 2018 ASNT Exhibition will be held in the George R. Brown Convention Center Hall A3. Be sure to attend the Innovation Forum on Monday and Tuesday from 11am – 1pm. Additionally there will once again be a free welcome reception Sunday evening from 5pm – 8pm.

ASNT holds this Annual Conference for the advancement of NDT and our fellowship as professionals. We are an industry family, and we hope that as you connect with long-time friends, make new ones, and learn from each other. It is the NDT community that makes ASNT so strong.

Enjoy the week.

PLENARYWHATABOUTNDE4.0,ASWEENTERTHE4THINDUSTRIALREVOLUTION Ripi Singh | Plus4Pi LLC “Industry 4.0” is a name for the current trend of automation & data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It primarily includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. Different thought leaders have included other disruptive technologies. The case as it may be, the 4th Industrial Revolution is upon us. Just like the previous revolution, only the adaptive will survive this one. During the ASNT Spring 2018 conference, there was a conversation around NDE for Industry 4.0. Ripi would prefer to call upon his NDE industry colleagues to think about NDE 4.0 as we enter Industry 4.0.About the SpeakerRipi Singh began his career in early 90s as an Assistant Prof with fundamental research on Structural Integrity after a Post Doc from Georgia Tech. Since moving to industry in late 90s, he has enjoyed developing valuable technologies, and approaches for aviation safety. He contributed actively to the NDE community through his Research and formation of the ASNT committee on inspection reliability (POD). With MS in Business Strategy in 2006 and a decade of Leadership roles in fortune 500, he developed strong competency in driving change through innovation. He has contributed to over 25 defense & commercial entities in USA, EU, and Asia. Now, he routinely serves as technology and business advisor to individuals, incubators, universities, corporations, and the state as Council Member of CT Academy of Science and Engineering. Over the years, he extended the traditional practices such as lean and 6-sigma to a much more versatile and powerful innovation & productivity framework

Massachusetts Materials TechnologiesWaltham, Massachusetts | ĝ 229Massachusetts Materials Technologies (MMT) was founded in 2014 based on innovative concepts initiated though graduate research at MIT by our CEO Simon Bellemare and CTO Steve Palkovic. Their research created the opportunity to transform the way material properties are measured by implementing a contact mechanics method known as frictional sliding in portable, accurate, and reliable testing instruments. With these instruments, MMT delivers practical nondestructive solutions for the mechanical evaluation of metallic materials. With the hardness, strength, and ductility (HSD) tester, MMT can accurately and reliably measure mechanical strength properties and mechanical variations throughout samples without the need for destructive testing. MMT’s second technology, the nondestructive toughness tester (NDTT), is a nondestructive tool able to replicate the crack-tip-opening-displacement (CTOD) used in traditional lab testing to accurately measure an index of fracture toughness.

TORAY Industries America Inc.New York, New York | ĝ 332TORAY showcases carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), which offer high X-ray transmission and strength, plus a scintillator with increased resolution. TORAY has been a leading supplier of carbon fibers in the world for nearly 50 years, as well as a manufacturer of other fibers and textiles, plastics and films, IT-related products, and environmental engineering and life science technologies. In the 1980s, TORAY began offering CFRP composite parts for X-ray products. TORAY is an optimum partner who can help achieve customer requirements in CFRP composite parts for various X-ray products while also offering a variety of new molding and processing methods. Because modern X-ray equipment requires a reduction in both weight and thickness, TORAY has vertically integrated R&D and its manufacturing chain, from fibers to finished products, to meet the industry’s ever advancing needs. TORAY proprietary technology has also led to an innovative scintillator panel. Indirect conversion flat panel detectors (FPDs) are used in many fields, but a common complaint has been that light spreading inside the scintillator causes crosstalk to adjacent a-Si photodiode pixels. For traditional models, that meant resolution was often degraded compared with direct-conversion FPDs. TORAY succeeded in improving the detectors’ spatial resolution—and resolved the challenge. In order to improve spatial resolution, scintillating material was pixelated to limit light spreading while allowing for

enlarged detector sizes. Today, TORAY continues to meet new challenges, solving problems and providing solutions for modern needs—and we will keep developing more innovative and high-quality materials, because we believe “Materials can change our lives.”

XARION Laser Acoustics GmbHVienna, Austria | ĝ 446The story of XARION Laser Acoustics starts with a unique approach to detecting sound waves: by measuring how they affect the speed of light! The membrane-free optical microphone technology is being used commercially in two fields of application today: industrial process control and NDT of materials. In both applications, the extremely broad air-coupled acoustic sensing range of 1 MHz is key. In the nondestructive material testing setup, a short laser pulse is directed on the specimen, which for example could be a welded steel plate or a carbon fiber composite component. The optical microphone can pick up the acoustic emission radiated into the adjacent air and create an ultrasound

image of the internal defects in the sample. Opposed to other ultrasound technologies, no contact fluid is required for this measurement. Both the XARION sensor and LUS-setup will be exhibited at Booth 446 at the ASNT Annual Conference.
