Abstract
This article is an introduction to one of the most commonly used and infrequently discussed techniques applied to failure investigations—industrial radiography. Radiographic testing or inspection (RT) is a rapid, nondestructive evaluation process that can provide critical information in the early stages of a failure analysis. Its application is not limited to metallurgical investigations, but also complements electrical, fire causes and origins, and general mechanical investigations.
