Abstract
Currently more attention is being paid to the non destructive test facilities for ceramics and to improve the resolution of the techniques. In this review the applicability of microfocus radiography, ultrasonics, scanning laser acoustic microscopy, thermo acoustic imaging, scanning photo displacement microscopy, acoustic emission, dye penetrants and vibration techniques to ceramics will be discussed. Questions like “when and for what to use the technique” and “what the detection sensitivity might be” will be dealed with. It will be clear that different non destructive techniques can be used to assure ceramic component reliability and to reduce the cost of their fabrication, but that more than one technique has to be used to obtain complementary or definite information on the quality or the presence of defects in ceramics.
