适用范围：<p>Radiologic examination may be used during product and process design optimization, on line process control, after manufacture inspection, and in service inspection. In addition to verifying structural placement, radiologic examination can be used in the case of honeycomb core materials to detect node bonds, core-to-core splices, and core-to-structure splices. Radiologic examination is especially well suited for detecting sub-surface flaws. The general types of defects detected by radiologic examination include blown core, core corrosion, damaged filaments, density variation, entrapped fluid, fiber debonding, fiber misalignment, foreign material, fractures, inclusions, microcracks, node bond failure, porosity/voids, and thickness variation.</p> <p>Factors that influence image formation and X-ray attenuation in radiologic examination , and which are relevant to interpreting the images for the conditions of interest, should be included in the examination request. Examples are, but not limited to, the following: laminate (matrix and fiber) material, lay-up geometry, fiber volume fraction (flat panels); facing material, core material, facing stack sequence, core geometry (cell size); core density, facing void content, adhesive void content, and facing volume percent reinforcement (sandwich core materials); overall thickness, specimen alignment, specimen geometry relative to the beam (flat panels and sandwich core materials).</p><p id="s00002">1.1 This practice is intended to be used as a supplement to Practices E 1742<astmref rid="a00013">, E 1255<astmref rid="a00009">, and E 2033<astmref rid="a00017">.</p> <p id="s00003">1.2 This practice describes procedures for radiologic examination of flat panel composites and sandwich core materials made entirely or in part from fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites.
