In the manufacture of cast parts and high-precision components, hidden defects such as inclusions or salt core residues are crucial for the quality and performance of the end products. These impurities can weaken the stability of the material and lead to failures or premature wear. The GWP 2D-3D measurement laboratory uses industrial computer tomography (CT) to offer a precise and non-destructive solution for identifying such defects in order to ensure consistently high product quality.
What are salt core residues?
In casting technology, salt core molds are often used, which should be completely removed after the casting process. Residues from these salt core molds can remain inside the component and limit its functionality.
