Project for Non-destructive Testing and Tomography Plus
K-Project ZPT+: September 2014 - August 2018
For 4 years 19 partners work on the further development of the central non-destructive testing methods - industrial computed tomography (CT) and laser ultrasound (LUS) - for the inspection and characterisation of compounds and hybrid-components.
The new K-Project for non-destructive testing and tomography plus (ZPT+) is a further development of the preceding very successful K-Project ZPT building on the established knowledge base. ZPT+ is the next logical step forward focusing on the cutting edge applications, new industrial demands and scientific expertise.

Accordingly, the project research focuses primarily on the NDT-methods X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and laser ultrasound (LUS) methods for compounds and hybrid components. Other NDT-methods will be applied as well for specific studies. As core areas the following research fields were defined for this project:

Motivation
The industry is driven by the need to improve quality, reliability and durability of industrial products, to reduce costs and to introduce new more complex products, materials and technologies. These market demands can only be met by applying non-destructive testing methods increasing the competitiveness of the industrial partners.
Fields of Research
The ZPT+ Project comprises 3 fields of research:
- Area 1 - New approaches for X-ray CT and ultrasonic methods
- Area 2 - NDT for 3D-microstructure and properties of structural materials
- Area 3 - Strategic projects and technology transfer
