Sometimes charging and discharging of lithium batteries can cause internal shorts. This is due to the formation of lithium dendrites or metallic filaments. CT inspection may be needed for the detection or precursors of thermal runaway as well.

Firearms Components InspectionPath lengths vary depending on density and thickness of material.
The lower the density, the easier it is for the x-rays to pass through. With higher density material, higher energies are required which can affect resolution.
As material density increases, time to scan can increase. This sometimes results in higher costs or a limit on parts per scan.
From plastics to aluminum to steel, path lengths will vary. An important question to ask: What is the thickness of material that needs scanning?
There are sometimes alternatives to getting the desired results you want.
A weld can be trimmed out to lower the amount of really dense material.
A customer needed porosity analysis on a part made of Inconel. This is a dense material, but the thickness of the part was minimal. This allowed us to provide a clean & accurate scan.
Keeping all these variables in mind, the importance of customer requirements, communication, & engagement becomes paramount. Setting expectations early in the process helps us determine proper methods to get you the data you need.
