A

BURNISHING

30
Q

A sharp or roughened projection of metal.

A

BURR

31
Q

Breaking away of pieces of material, that is usually caused by excessive stress concentration or careless handling.

A

MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION

DYE-PENETRANT INSPECTION

EDDY CURRENT

ULTRASOUND

X-RAY

42
Q

It is a nondestructive test for defects open to the surface in parts made of any nonporous material.

A

DYE-PENETRANT INSPECTION

43
Q

Q

It is a method of detecting invisible cracks and other defects in ferromagnetic materials, such as iron and steel.

A

MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION

47
Q

It can penetrate material and disclose discontinuities through the metal or non-metal components, making it an excellent inspection process when needed to determine the structural integrity of an engine component.

A

X-RAYS

48
Q

It is a tool used to control and apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a bolt or a nut.
