As a new option, YXLON (Hamburg, Germany) provides ASTM E2973 digital reference images for aluminum and magnesium die castings in its imaging software Image2500 and Image3500 of X-ray inspection systems, including Y.MU2000-D and MU60 AE. The reference images, which historically have only been available as an image catalog for radiographic inspections with film, can now be deployed in digital radioscopy for defect evaluation of aluminum and magnesium alloys in die castings via a second review monitor. According to YXLON, the digital ASTM reference images are an effective basis for film replacement, and users appreciate the benefits of the easy and safe image storage as well as the simple digital data exchange.
