Non-Destructive Testing　

■   An internal structure of a large-scale lithium-ion battery is understood in detail.

(Left) CT image of a lithium-ion battery imaged by MIRRORCLE CV4(Right) imaged by LINAC.

■  Rebar and crack was observed within a concrete

(Left）X-ray image of 15cm thick concrete structure. Not only is the crack around the frame steel visible, but also the uniformity is visible too.
(Right）CT imaging of concrete.
A comparison of NDT capability here.

Concrete CT imaging (avi file open)

■  Sheath steel lumbe was observed within a 600mm concrete

(Left）Picture of 600mm thickness concrete ,include steel lumber.
(Midle）Using 1.2 times magnification, sheath clouds are visible around of steel lumber.

（Right) 2 times magnification　X ray imaging.

This imaging is analogous to bridge testing.

■   Structure Material

The last image highlights some of MIRRORCLE technology X-rays properties by imaging rubber and metal parts simultaneously.

It is possible to observe the plastic on the inside of ceramic and stainless steel by using MIRRORCLE. In the photo on the right has now been made clearly identify the boundaries of metal and rubber.

The internal observation for engine.(Two times magnification)	The internal observation for turbopump. (2 times magnified.)	The internal image of electric element.
We can observe the internal construction of the a high power vacuum tube called a thyratron without disassembly. (Left image): Optical image of a thyratron. (Center image): Contact X-ray image. (Right image): Magnified X-ray image.

■ Micron order crack in 1cm thickness steel material is observed in five minutes.

Sample is an offer of ｢Japan Power Engineering and Inspection Corporation｣

■   Corrosion pipes inspection

(a) Experimental setup for corrosion examination. 100mmΦ diameter pipe with 6.0mm wall thickness and 50mm thick surrounding insulation.
(b) 150mmΦ diameter corroded pipe with 5.0mm wall thickness and 50mm thick surrounding insulation. The corrosion plane is visible.
(c)100mmΦ diameter corroded pipe with 6.0mm wall thickness and 50mm thick surrounding insulation. Visible is a 1mmΦ unperforated chasm in the thickness of the pipe.

■   Security Applications

The various objects can be distinguished in tour bag. The picture shows fuel gas, orange, and liquid in alminium bottle at the same time.

Specification

■ Three times the NDT capabilitie of existing equipment

Image ofiron rods as seen through 45cm thick concrete block. The NDT capabilities of MIRRORCLE are 3 times that of a Cobalt X-ray source.

45cm thick concrete

A comparison of NDT capability between MIRRORCLE-CV4 and conventional X-ray source.

300keV X ray tube using grid. Contact imaging. MIRRORCLE-CV4 not using grid. Source - Detector distance1.0m and 2.6 times magnification imaging. MIRRORCLE-6X not using grid. Detector distance 3.6m and 3 times magnification imaging.

■   NDT capability 0.4%

Using 4,3 times magnification, φ0.1mm holes are visible inside of φ5mm lead rods. This test is analogous to nuclear reactor fuel rod testing.
