Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) is a branch of engineering that focuses on inspecting materials, components, and structures without causing damage to them. It involves using various techniques such as visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, radiography, eddy current testing, and magnetic particle testing to examine the integrity and quality of materials and detect defects or abnormalities. NDE is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, aerospace, and energy to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of products and structures. It plays a crucial role in quality control, maintenance, and safety assessment processes.
