" - Steven Triolaire 3 The NAIT materials engineering technology lab uses various chemicals on the materials during testing phases. 4 Cracks in a weld are revealed by fluorescent light, after the weld has been magnetized and then bathed in a special oil. This is a type of testing conducted using a magnetic particle wet bench. 5 " A Gamma Ray Exposure Device, used to inspect the internal structure of an opaque object. The device is basically a shield that protect the inspector from a radioactive isotope of iridium 192. Gamma rays are physically indistinguishable from X-rays. It's used to inspect castings forging and weldments, and requires certification with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. " - Steven Triolaire 14 | SPRING 2024 | TECHNOLOGY ALBERTA
