Q2 – Mark by true or fault for below sentences in empty rectangle.

1- Eddy current testing method used for only magnetic materials. 

2- Decreasing time response in ultrasonic testing probe meaning deeper defect in tested

material. 

3- In x-ray theory, inner shell transitions are associated with high E. 

4- Obviously analysis of X-Ray emitted from a target of unknown composition can be

used for a material topography imaging. 

5- For a liquid increasing viscosity lead to spread it on surface. 

Q3- Explain briefly not more than three lines (if hard to explain answer in Arabic)

1- Where NDI used?

2- Why couple liquid is used in ultrasonic test and there is no need in Eddy current?

Q5 – A- a product with painted surface needed to be tested for surface cracks. What is the
preferred testing method you suggest to do to identify these cracks.

B – In your opinion, why sometimes we use ultrasound testing method instead of Eddy
current testing method depending on material type and defect depth. (1mark)

Q6 - Decide Yes or No and explain why if the answer is No for the below statements:

1 – Visual testing method used to detect surface and subsurface defects.

2 – Argon or Nitrogen environment used for testing Specimens by Scanning electron

microscope testing and not Air.

3– Optical microscope use ultraviolent light to detect the metallurgical characteristics of

prepared specimen’s surface.

4 – Gamma ray (-ray) has less energy of penetration than X-Ray.

5 – Ultrasonic testing cannot work without coupling liquid during testing of materials.
