Manufacturing Best Practices
Defects, inspection and repair
Wrinkles, bridging, porosity, contamination, impact and bond defects require defined acceptance criteria and an approved disposition route.
In simple terms
Wrinkles, bridging, porosity, contamination, impact and bond defects require defined acceptance criteria and an approved disposition route.
Best for
In-process control, final inspection and service damage response.
Watch out for
A cosmetic repair is not automatically structural; safety-critical work must follow OEM/SRM or approved engineering data.
Typical applications
Production release, NDT, bonded repair and maintenance.
