The Material Science – Nondestructive Testing (NDT) program at Clover Park Technical College provides training in a variety of analysis techniques used in industry to evaluate the properties of a material or structure without causing damage.
The Material Science – Composites program at Clover Park Technical College prepares students for careers in composites manufacturing. In this program, students learn to fabricate, assemble, repair, test, and troubleshoot composite materials.
Eddy current inspection applies electrical currents to an object to create electromagnetic fields.
Provides foundational knowledge related to nondestructive testing (NDT) and offers the opportunity to gain hands-on training in the NDT methods of magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant inspection, and visual inspection.
Radiography uses x-rays or gamma rays to show defects which might otherwise be invisible. A vast array of material can be examined in this efficient and reliable way, ranging from tiny electronic components to 20-foot freestanding concrete slabs.
Ultrasonic testing is a portable and efficient way to measure thickness, detect corrosion, and examine groove welds in many materials.
