Ultrasonic Testing information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Ultrasonic Testing Technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Ultrasonic Testing Technician, you need a strong understanding of materials science, physics, and non-destructive testing (NDT) principles, often supported by relevant certifications such as ASNT Level I, II, or III. Proficiency with ultrasonic testing equipment, data analysis software, and calibration tools is essential for accurate inspections. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are vital soft skills for interpreting results and reporting findings to stakeholders. These skills and qualifications ensure reliable safety assessments, regulatory compliance, and the prevention of structural failures in critical industries.

What are some common challenges faced by Ultrasonic Testing technicians in the field, and how can they be addressed?

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) technicians often encounter challenges such as working in confined spaces, dealing with varying surface conditions, and interpreting complex signals from materials with irregular shapes or welds. These challenges can be addressed by staying up to date with the latest UT equipment and software, practicing effective communication with team members to ensure safety, and continually developing interpretation skills through ongoing training and certification. Collaboration with experienced colleagues and thorough pre-inspection planning can also help minimize errors and improve testing efficiency.

What is ultrasonic testing?

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect defects, measure thickness, and evaluate the properties of materials. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, and oil and gas to inspect welds, structures, and components without causing any damage. UT can identify internal flaws, such as cracks or voids, that may not be visible on the surface. Trained technicians use specialized equipment to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, analyzing the reflected signals to assess the integrity of the material.

What is the difference between Ultrasonic Testing vs Radiographic Testing?

AspectUltrasonic TestingRadiographic Testing
CredentialsLevel I, II, III certifications in ultrasonic testingLevel I, II, III certifications in radiography
Work EnvironmentContact-based, uses ultrasonic waves on materialsNon-contact, uses X-ray or gamma rays on materials
Industry UsageWelding, aerospace, power plantsWelding, aerospace, power plants
Detection TypeMeasures thickness, detects flaws via ultrasonic wavesVisualizes internal flaws via radiographic images

Both Ultrasonic Testing and Radiographic Testing are non-destructive methods used to inspect materials for flaws. Ultrasonic Testing is contact-based and ideal for thickness measurements and detecting subsurface flaws, while Radiographic Testing provides detailed internal images but involves radiation. The choice depends on the specific inspection needs and safety considerations.

Job description

Proven to Perform.
From the edges of space to the bottoms of ocean, our materials are proven to perform -- and so is our team. We're hiring high performers as proven as our products. Join us.

We are currently hiring all levels of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Quality Specialist (Ultrasonic Testing) Technician for a Learnership at our Cudahy, Wisconsin location.

As an Entry Level Quality Specialist (Ultrasonic Testing Technician, you will work with testing and inspection equipment to provide examination and testing of specialty components using water immersion ultrasonic testing on components for aerospace jet engines and other high-performance applications.You will have the opportunity for continued learning, career growth and pay increases with successful completion of training milestones.

For candidates that already have NDT experience in any area, we welcome you to apply. We are always seeking candidates with existing certifications to join our team at a higher level than entry level. These individuals must be capable of obtaining customer certification requirements. Education preferred is a technical degree in Non-destructive testing to include ultrasonic inspection, although we will consider other areas of NDT.

Must be flexible with availability. Will be assigned specific shift following completion of training. The assigned shift may be Weekdays 1st or 2nd shift (Mon - Thurs); Weekend Days or Weekend Nights shift (Fri -Sun)

Essential Functions:

  • Responsible for daily immersion ultrasonic setups, examination, and testing of components to determine acceptability of material and product.
  • Examine product for possible internal or external defects and document results accordingly.
  • Prepare material to properly examine and apply testing methods by cleaning, identifying, and setting up equipment and moving parts with overhead cranes.
  • Scan procedures in order to accomplish ultrasonic setups, tests, and reporting.

In order to become successful, you must quickly learn ATI, our customers, products, processes, and procedures. A successful Ultrasonic Technician is a problem-solver, has strong attention to detail, and embraces the opportunity to be empowered in making crucial decisions regarding the integrity of our components.You will play a vital role in ensuring that we are producing components that meet quality, reliability, and safety standards of ATI and our customers.
