Abstract

It would be advantageous to detect defects or inhomogeneousities in the early process of production to the reduce the production costs. The main point of this work is the optimization of different non-destructive testing methods for the testing of green creamic bodies. The non-destructive characterization methods, specially the ultrasonic testing, the measurement of the natural frequency and the measurement of the Ultrasonic-Contact-Impedance (UCI), are very interesting for measuring the different material properties quickly and with low costs.
