About

Patric Nilsson is a researcher focused on advancing non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for additive manufacturing, particularly in metal deposition processes. His key research area centers on the application of automatic ultrasonic testing (UT) to detect flaws in three-dimensional metal geometries built through welding with filler wire or powdered metal. Nilsson's major contribution lies in developing methodologies to ensure the structural integrity of metal deposition features, especially those located in high-stress areas or posing potential hazards to critical components. His most-cited work, "Automatic Ultrasonic testing for Metal Deposition" (2012), with 9 citations, establishes foundational protocols for integrating UT into automated quality control for additive manufacturing. This research is vital for industries relying on metal deposition, such as aerospace and automotive, where undetected defects could lead to catastrophic failures. Nilsson’s work bridges the gap between advanced manufacturing and reliable inspection, making him a notable figure in the field of NDT for modern fabrication techniques.
