Technologies
A number of new ultrasonic technologies for structural integrity improvement were developed recently.
One of the technologies is based on using High Power Ultrasound (HPU) and aimed
at fatigue improvement of parts and welded elements - Ultrasonic Impact Treatment (UIT). In most industrial application
it is also known as Ultrasonic Peening
(UP). Many companies around the world explore the advantages and high
(highest) efficiency in fatigue life improvement achieved by using our UIT/UP technology and equipment.
Our second line of products/services is the ultrasonic technique and equipment
for non-destructive residual and applied stress measurements. In many applications,
including the welded elements and structures, this Ultrasonic Measurement (UM) technology is the most efficient for
residual stress measurements in lab and field conditions.
Our
Team has deep knowledge and 30+ years experience in development and industrial
application of UIT/UP and UM technologies.
