Theoretical and comparative study of the techniques of gammagraphy and industrial radiography based on an analysis of their applicational effectiveness

Abstract

The project in question aims, through a bibliographical review, to discuss the specific concepts of Gamma-ray and Industrial Radiography techniques, with the aim of first evaluating the main application conditions, based on the nature and behavior of radiation, the equipment involved in the processes and the safety standards for industrial applications in the analysis of faults and defects in equipment, welds, boilers and structures in general, as well as any research and discoveries in this area of Industrial Radiology. A bibliographic survey was carried out using the descriptors explained in the course of the research, subdividing it into X-radiation and gamma radiation, both of which have industrial and maintenance approaches. After this, another division was made in order to make it easier to see how each area of study treats Radiology in a specific way, namely: medicine through viral structure analysis and tomography with 3D images infrastructure/environment with an approach to sidewalk concrete, industrial welding, crystallography and X-ray diffraction and mathematical modeling as a complement to inspections. As a result, it was possible to conclude that the use of radiation is not just restricted to the industrial sector, but has other applications, proving to be positive, since research and the search for new implementations have increased over the years, as the statistical graphs show.
