Ensuring Quality with Non-Destructive Testing

Non-destructive testing (NDT) allows investment cast components to be inspected for defects without damaging the part. Through our sister company American Metal Testing (AMT)—a NADCAP-approved lab—Aero Metals provides certified testing to verify the integrity of cast and machined components.

Our NDT capabilities include:
• Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI)
• Radiographic Inspection (X-Ray)
• Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

These testing methods help ensure castings meet strict industry standards for aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and other demanding applications.
