Heat treatment of driving components:
Russian roulette with long-term effect?

|
No matter if it is about steering systems, drive shafts or gears. Nearly every part of these components undergoes complex heat treatments. Failure of the part due to missing or faulty heat treatment can have fatal results: The risks range from individual field failures up to recall actions amounting to millions. A decision of the German Supreme Court of March 31, 1998, ruling that the delivery of a faulty product calls for extensive responsibility of the supplier, puts additional pressure on automobile manufacturers and car part suppliers. Thus, 100% testing of all safety-relevant components is obligatory.

Up to 16 different test positions with 8 different test frequencies each can be checked with the eddyliner®Px. This instrument works according to preventive multi-frequency testing (PMFT). Only OK parts are required for calibration.
Even smallest defects and differencies in material structure, appearing despite careful production, are detected. During test critical areas are enclosed by an encircling coil. Test process itself merely lasts splits of a second.
For your test part as well the eddyliner®Px can be the solution. Get in contact with the manufacturer.
