SPECIAL ISSUE OF RNDE ON NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING Papers are invited for this special issue of Research in Nondestructive Evaluation (RNDE) covering topics in the domain of nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/E) in all forms of additive manufac- turing. The aim is to provide a collection of the latest research and industrial devel- opment work at the interface of NDT/E and additive manufacturing, highlighting the important role that NDT/E plays in this new manufacturing paradigm. While destructive evaluation methods are often used to characterize and qualify additively manufactured products, NDE methods can provide significant insights without the need for sectioning and damaging the part. Due to the fact that the mechanical performance of additively manufactured parts may often be affected by the presence of defects (such as pores, cracks, inclusions, surface roughness, etc.), understanding the type, size, and location of defects is key to managing performance expec- tations and predicting performance. Furthermore, some internal features of complex-shaped additively manufactured parts (for example, in lattice structures or cooling channels in bulk parts) cannot be measured easily. Therefore, NDE methods covering both in-process moni- toring and post-build inspection become crucial in identifying defects and evalu- ating the quality of the additively manu- factured component or product. Topics in this special issue will cover current and novel NDE methods and in-process monitoring techniques as they pertain to additive manufacturing. Research and review papers are welcomed for submis- sion. Please refer to the author guidelines for page and figure limits. Journal homepage and author guide- lines are available at asnt.org/rnde. Submit your special issue paper by 1 May 2022 at mc.manuscriptcentral .com/urnd. Please include in your paper submission’s cover letter that you are submitting for the additively manufac- tured special issue. CALLFORPAPERS | SCOPE | PARTICIPATE US PARTICIPANTS SOUGHT FOR ISO TC 135 TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP FOR NDT As the US member body to ISO, ANSI accredits US TAGs (technical advisory groups) to develop and transmit US positions on ISO technical activities. ANSI member and accredited standards developer the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) serves as the ANSI-accredited administrator of the US TAG to ISO TC 135. ANSI ISO TC 135 TAG is seeking volunteer members to support the following subcommittees: ▶ SC 4 – Eddy current testing ▶ SC 8 – Thermographic testing ▶ SC 9 – Acoustic emission testing Members of the TC 135 TAG shall consist of individuals meeting the definition of a US National Interested Party, having a direct and material interest in the nondestructive testing (NDT) profession that represents the varied interest categories in NDT. The interest categories are as follows: ▶ Producer: Provider of NDT services or of goods, which require NDT services ▶ User: User of NDT services or of goods, which require NDT services ▶ General Interest: All others Applicants are expected to have experience in NDT and NDT personnel certification programs, to represent the TC 135 TAG, and actively participate in the respective subcommittees. In order to participate in the subcommittees identified, applicants shall hold a third-party NDT Level III credential in the applicable method(s). Examples of NDT credentials include ASNT, ASNT Central Certification Program (ACCP), and other ISO 9712-based programs. Other credentials such as an employer-based Level III certification may be accepted, subject to approval by the TC 135 TAG committee. Participation and membership is not conditional upon being an ASNT member. If you wish to join the ANSI ISO TC 135 TAG in the develop- ment of ISO standards related to NDT, please submit a request for membership to the US TAG Administrator (ASNT). The request shall indicate the applicant’s direct and material interest in the TAG work and their willingness to participate actively in the applicant’s interest category along with their contact information, place of employment, and list of any certifications in NDT-related fields that are held. Submit the request to Michelle Thomas at mthomas@asnt.org by 1 June 2022. A P R I L 2 0 2 2 • M A T E R I A L S E V A L U A T I O N 89
