In accordance with previous results obtained in the US, a recent research project at IABG showed neutron radiography to be a nondestructive testing (NDT) method of potential value in aerospace maintenance and quality assurance, complementing conventional inspection methods. Applications include the detection of corrosion products, entrapped moisture, adhesive defects as well as some defects in carbon fiber composites. For years the large-scale use of neutron radiography was delayed due to the lack of small and inexpensive but powerful neutron sources. Recent progress in this area led to the present development of a new generation of small neutron sources, such as compact cyclotrons and powerful neutron generators.
