The Aluminum ASTM Wire Type IQI-02B is a standardized Image Quality Indicator (IQI) essential for radiographic testing (X-ray and gamma-ray inspection) of aluminum materials. This IQI conforms to the requirements of ASTM standards, typically ASTM E747, which governs the specifications for wire-type IQIs used in radiography.

Key Features:

• Wire Type Design: Composed of a set of six precisely manufactured aluminum wires of varying, known diameters.

• Aluminum Material: Fabricated from aluminum, ensuring radiographic absorption characteristics comparable to the aluminum components being inspected.

• ASTM Compliance: Adheres to the stringent standards set by ASTM International, most notably ASTM E747, for reliable and consistent image quality assessment.

• Material Group 02: Designated as Material Group 02 according to ASTM E747, specifically intended for use with aluminum alloys.

• Set Letter B: Belongs to Set Letter B, one of the standard sets of wire IQIs defined by ASTM E747. Set B contains six specific wire diameters designed for evaluating radiographic sensitivity over a defined range of aluminum material thicknesses.

• Identification Marking: Clearly marked with the material (Al), the ASTM designation (or reference to it), the material group (02), and the set letter (B) for easy identification and traceability.

Applications:

• Used in radiographic testing of aluminum castings, forgings, weldments, and other components.

• Placed on or near the test object during radiography to assess the quality and sensitivity of the radiographic technique.

• Employed to verify that the radiographic image provides sufficient detail to reveal flaws of a predetermined size.

• Utilized in quality control processes to ensure compliance with radiographic inspection standards and specifications.

Importance:

• Provides a standardized and objective method for evaluating radiographic image quality.

• Enables inspectors to determine the smallest discernible detail in a radiograph, indicating the sensitivity of the inspection technique.

• Ensures that the radiographic technique is adequate for detecting critical flaws within the aluminum material being examined.

• Facilitates consistent and reliable radiographic inspection results across different inspections and operators.

• Essential for meeting the requirements of various codes, standards, and specifications that mandate radiographic testing of aluminum.
