This book presents the study of the temperatures at which delamination starts to occur in different samples of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). The sensitivity of different Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques of Ultrasonic Testing and Active Thermography on heat-treated composite materials would also be discussed. The composite specimens are heated by a heat gun for a time interval of 35 minutes. The process is repeated with different temperatures, maintaining the time interval. Ultrasonic Testing and Thermography will then be conducted to determine the extent of the damaged...

The need for innovation in the manufacturing industry to meet the consumers fast changing preference has led to additive manufacturing (AM). Additive manufacturing works around the idea of material addition for product formation instead of conventional ways of subtracting material. Due to AM being an emerging technology, many procedures and processing parameters are not standardized, as it remained challenging for industries to produce parts that are defect free. Porosity level of the end product is of interest to the manufacturers as it reveals the material properties and microstructure of...
