more, ibg places high standards for precision for its

employ extremely low noise signal processing, ear-

probes are highly sensitive for local surface defects.

Grinder burn detection

As per ISO 14104, grinder burn is a local overheating

of surfaces. Heat impact during the grinding process
was too much and effected localized annealing or, if
heat impact was still stronger, there can be re-harde-
ning zones. Depending on part surface quality and
geometric influences, the ibg PMFT detects grinder
burn with detection beginning at the level of mere
change in residual stress or beginning of annealing
zones in the microstructure.
A method applied by ibg to produce reference
samples for grinder burn detection is laser burn: heat,
defined and locally applied to the surface of the test
part. Thus, producing defined artificial defects of dif-
ferent intensity in metallic parts which show analogue
features like real damage. They can widely be pro-
duced and reproduced at defined spots according
to requirements (kind and depth of structure change,
spacial dimension) and they serve as master part for
validation of automatic test machine as well as for de-
termination of sensitivity of a test system.
