Visual inspection is one of the most fundamental and widely used methods of non-destructive testing (NDT) for assessing the condition, quality, and integrity of materials, components, and structures. It involves the careful visual examination of surfaces, structures, or components to identify defects, anomalies, damage, wear, or other issues that may affect their performance or safety. Visual inspection is employed in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, aerospace, automotive, and maintenance.
Visual inspection is often used in conjunction with other NDT methods, such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, or magnetic particle testing, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of materials and components.
