TECHNICAL FOCUS
ISSUE: NDT/E FOR
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
The rapid disruptive shift from internal
combustion engine to battery elec-
tric vehicles (EVs) necessitates new
nondestructive testing and evaluation
(NDT/E) inspection techniques to ensure
first-time quality. This special issue of
Materials Evaluation, to be published
in January 2026, aims to consolidate
research activities related to EV and EV
component inspection. Many EV compo-
nents necessitate quality inspection
techniques that must operate under a
demanding set of constraints, including
extremely fast cycle times, noncontact,
materials with small geometric scales, and
conductive materials. We invite submis-
sions that explore advancements in NDT/E
technology and methodologies for EVs
and EV components, including battery
cells/packs/modules, electric motors,
and electric motor components. Papers
focusing on inline manufacturing tech-
niques are particularly welcome. Process
monitoring techniques are also welcome.
The goal is to showcase cutting-edge
research that pushes the boundaries of
NDT/E, ensuring first-time quality of EVs.
