Use foggers, plastic sheeting and spray-on evaporation retarders to offset early surface drying and resulting defects including plastic shrinkage cracking, crusting, mortar flaking, premature ...

failure pressure level for any given defect is independent of toughness, depending instead entirely on flow-stress, and therefore, predictable by means of Maxey’s surface flaw equation (Equation 1).

It seems silly to ask why minimizing defects in your production is important. However, it is a crucial step to refining your ...

Unlike conventional ultrasonic flaw detection systems, MIV-X exposes defects both on and below the surface. The MIV-X also provides a clear visualization of any flaws detected – another improvement ...

about one defect is reported per unit - and this has been the case "in recent years", the Housing Board has told The Straits Times. The bulk of reported flaws are "surface imperfections", such as ...
