In the validation process of composite materials, increasingly present in everyday life, one of the most widely used procedures is ultrasonic study. Manufacturers of aeronautical parts, maintenance services and airline operators, among others, use Phased Array ultrasound technology to ensure the quality of their composite parts during maintenance and manufacturing.Composite materials are not homogeneous, so this results in a number of difficulties that are not present in metallic materials. In addition, the manufacturing processes of this type of parts, unlike metallic materials, have their own particularities, so the defects and traces that can occur are different and specific. We will also have to take into account the fabrics used (both materials and types) and the resins, according to which we will have to parameterize the machine. In this course, vocational training teachers will learn about Phased Array ultrasonic technology and will have the opportunity to analyze specimes of different materials, including composite materials, by non-destructive testing methodology.

Competences
The student will be able to identify and classify the most common defects in composite materials using both Phased Array and conventional ultrasound. Taking into account the difficulties of composite materials, the student will also be able to apply the acquired skills to metallic materials.Contents
1.- Ultrasonic Technology: introduction and general concepts.2.- Parameterization of the conventional machine.
3.- Phased Array Technology: introduction and general concepts.
4.- Parameterization of the Phased Array machine.
