Abstract

This paper discusses a new technique to locate voids in high conductivity materials such as metals. Heat is applied parallel to the target surface (perpendicular to viewing direction). A thermal contour display (produced by a thermal imaging system) of the material under test shows a distinct "pinch" produced by a void. This thermal pinch is persistent and is not always destroyed by high lateral conductivity. This new technique promises to open a whole new realm of thermographic applications.
