DETERMINATION OF THE SERVICE LIFE OF LOCOMOTIVE PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES USING NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHODS

Modern technological processes for the manufacture and repair of rolling stock railway transport products are in many cases accompanied by intermediate quality control of products. In this regard, non-destructive quality control methods become important, which allow not only to detect defects on the surface or in the thickness of the product, but also to determine their shape and size, as well as the spatial position in the part. The article provides an analysis of the assessment of the resource of parts and assemblies by non-destructive testing methods. This paper presents a variety of non-destructive testing methods.
