Departments in the Value-added Chain
DEPARTMENTS IN THE VALUE-ADDED CHAIN
Fraunhofer IZFP
FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING IZFP
Materials Characterization In-service Inspection and Life-cycle Monitoring
Dr.-Ing. Klaus Szielasko Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Georg Herrmann
The department´s research and development activities concentrate on NDT methods and procedures that are relevant for condition monitoring of structures along the complete life time cycle. Deployed NDT methods comprise ultra sonics, electromagnetics, eddy current, Xray, thermography et al.
Life cycle moitoring forms a new field of research in the frame of condition monitoring. Forschungsfeld für die Zustandsbewertung.
Der Leistungsumfang der Abteilung umfasst Vorstudien und Machbarkeitsanalysen, Konzeptentwicklung und Aufbau von Prüfsystemen. Die Expertise umfasst u. a. Methoden wie elektromagnetischen Ultraschall, Sampling Phased Array, Röntgen (Computertomographie und laminographie) und Rekonstruktionsalgorithmen.

The core competence of the department zeroes in on the establishment of testing prerequisites for material characterization, starting with the physical foundations extending to the development of industrialgrade inspection systems. The emphasis is on the combination of processes, in the improvement of spatial resolution as well as in the optimization of methods relating to contactless measurements.
The methods are used within the frame of the development and production of new high performance materials as well as for welltried materials. Apart from metallic materials this is also relevant for construction materials and polymers. Miniaturised inspection technology enables the employment of material characterization in microelectronics and microsystem technology.

Dipl.-Ing. Werner Bähr Dr.-Ing. Bernd Wolter Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernd Valeske
The department deals with the development and application of inspection solutions, focussing on fast, automated 3D testing, 3D data evaluation and 3D visualisation (tomographic inspection functions), as well as data fusion of different inspection methods or modalities (ultrasound / acoustics, thermography, Xray CT).
The existing platform technology enables the fast transfer of custommade systems to industrial validation and implementation even in the context of complex tasks. To support this flexible and qualified transfer of latest advances to the realm of industrial practice, our laboratory is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.

Usually production processes are mastered, optimized and are able to produce goods of quality. NDT is required, if the processes are not mastered, not optimized or are not able to produce goods of quality.
Up to now, the focus is on technical production processes such as in the automotive industry, steel production and machine and plant production.
Special department competences relate to the monitoring and inspection of production processes and products where a unique feature developed by IZFP, the 3MA inspection procedure (micromagnetic multiparameter, microstructure and stress analysis) is deployed, i.e. for press hardening, valve spring production and strip steel manufacturing.

Alongside and jointly with system integrators Fraunhofer IZFP´s Electronics for NDT Systems department develops new innovative electronic modules for nondestructive testing solutions.
The special emphasis lies in working with small and medium sized companies. For this clientele the department´s new and industrial strength solutions provide access to the market and, in future, discrete product updating and followup support.
Internally, the department is a service provider for special electronics that are not available in the commercial NDT market. This comprises the transfer of laboratory prototypes in industrialgrade modules including their implementation in existing systems.
