5. Inspection procedure, sequence of operations
5.1 Preliminary cleaning
The materials and processes used to prepare and clean the surface prior to inspection must be chosen according to the pollution and residues present on the surface, due to the manufacture or operation of the part to be inspected. But also, depending on the material, so as not to risk corroding, attacking or embrittling it, or affecting its mechanical characteristics and fatigue life. What's more, no residue from this operation should remain on the surface, at the risk of reducing inspection performance (detectability, reliability, etc.).
Mechanical pickling processes (sandblasting, shot blasting, etc.) can be used, except generally on machined parts or finished parts, depending on the metal substrate in question, where they can lead...

Events
COFREND Days (French Confederation for Non-Destructive Testing) take place every three years in a French city chosen by COFREND. Those celebrating COFREND's 50th anniversary took place from May 30 to 1 er June 2017 at the Palais des Congrès in Strasbourg. The COFREND 2020 Days were cancelled due to the health and economic context, which had a strong impact on event activities in France....
