What is Active Thermography?
Active thermography is an effective method for non-destructive testing of materials involving the induction of heat flow in a test object by external excitation. The heat flow within the test object is influenced by internal conditions and measured on the surface by an IR camera. This technique detects not only the smallest surface defects, but also internal structural defects under the surface.
Active vs Passive Thermography
Active and passive thermography are techniques used for detecting heat patterns and abnormalities in various applications. While passive thermography relies on naturally occurring temperature changes, active thermography introduces an external energy source to create thermal contrast.
