Allied-Signal Aerospace Company wanted to eliminate destructive testing. To get approval, they conducted capability testing utilizing a WeldComputer Control. The study demonstrated that the capability of the tested material far exceeded the required 99.5% level and approval was granted to eliminate destructive testing. For details, read the study.
This report establishes that the resistance welding process, as controlled and monitored by WeldComputer’s equipment, is sufficiently reliable to allow the substitution of nondestructive evaluation for destructive testing.
