Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
An investigation of the capabilities of ACPD to detect the effect of 475 °C embrittlement on the properties 2507 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) is conducted. Quantitative analysis of the microstructure using SEM revealed that the thermal aging did not affect the volumetric proportions of the phases present in the duplex microstructure. Nevertheless, results obtained from ACPD measurements showed an increase in electric conductivity of samples with prolonged exposure to 475 °C. In addition, the hardness of the samples increased significantly for long holding times, resulting in an embrittlement of the SDSS corroborated by Charpy impact energy measurements.
