SUMMARY:SA/NT Event: PWI South Australia Event Non-destructive testing of rails
DESCRIPTION:Join the PWI SA branch for their October meeting\, an in-person event on the non-destructive testing of rails in Adelaide on Thursday 5th October! \nIf attending\, please RSVP to Robert Schweiger by Tuesday 3rd October 2023 by phone on 0413 128 775 or by email at rschweiger1@outlook.com \nAbout the event\nRail inspection is an essential task to ensure the safety and performance of railway track. Not all rail defects may be observed by external observation. Some of the most critical rail defects can initiate and grow to a point of failure entirely within the rail. Essential tools for the detection of these internal defects include ultrasonics\, magnetic particle and dye penetrant testing. These tools are grouped together under the general title of Non-Destructive Testing. \nThe two presenters at this meeting will talk about the nondestructive testing of rails\, describing the various tools available and their latest technological developments. \nThe presentation will compose 3 sections\, approximately 15 minutes each as listed below. \n\nManufacturing Phased Array (PAUT) / Eddy Current automation:\n\nRail track inspection systems – automation\nRail Wheel inspection automation\, robotics\nRail Truck– overseas manufacturing and compliance testing requirements\n\n\nIn-Service Ultrasonic / PAUT:\n\nBogie Axle Testing PAUT\nRail Wheel – PAUT\, EC\, Residual Stress\nTrack testing Welds – UT\, PAUT\nTrack testing – Rail head failures – PAUT\n\n\nForum:\n\nNon-destructive testing challenges and technology applications industry discussion.\n\n\n\nPresenters\n \nLeonel Borges\, Quality and Completions\, John Holland \nLeo has been Inspecting Rail weld since he was 24years old mostly working in Major projects in WA such as FMG T45\, T155 and Eliwana\, BHP & RIO Tinto Major shutdowns and Roy Hill Project.
