Abstract

Effective testing of defects in various materials is an important guarantee to ensure its safety performance. Compared with traditional non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, infrared thermography is a new NDT technique which has developed rapidly in recent years. Its core technologies include thermal excitation and infrared image processing. In this paper, several main infrared thermography nondestructive testing techniques are reviewed. Through the analysis and comparison of the detection principle, technical characteristics and data processing methods of these testing methods, the development of the infrared thermography nondestructive testing technique is presented. Moreover, the application and development trend are summarized.
