Abstract

Abstract: The 19th world conference on non-destructive testing was held in Munich, Germany, in June 2016. The advanced testing technologies and equipment including ultrasonic, radiographic and infrared et al were centralized discussed by the researchers in nondestructive testing coming from all around the world. The new progress of the study and application of the worldwide nondestructive testing technologies and equipment, and the developing trend are reflected. An overview of the conference is presented. The new progress of the study and application of advanced ultrasonic testing technologies, including phased array ultrasonic, air-coupled ultrasonic and laser ultrasonic et al are mainly analyzed. The developing trend of the advanced ultrasonic testing technology is discussed. The problems need to be further studied are raised. The new opportunities for future development are pointed out.
