About

Per Henrikson is a researcher specializing in non-destructive testing (NDT) and automated inspection systems for advanced manufacturing processes. His work focuses on developing innovative methods to ensure the structural integrity of metal components, particularly in challenging environments. Henrikson’s major contributions include pioneering the application of automatic ultrasonic testing for metal deposition (MD), a critical technique for detecting defects in three-dimensional metal geometries built through welding. This work, published in 2012, has garnered 9 citations and addresses high-stress areas where undetected flaws could pose safety hazards. He also advanced weld inspection by developing an automated system using infrared active thermography, demonstrated in 2015, which eliminates the need for skilled operator intervention in detecting surface-breaking defects. This innovation offers a more efficient alternative to traditional methods like fluorescent penetrant inspection and eddy currents. Henrikson’s research bridges the gap between manufacturing and quality assurance, enhancing reliability in industries such as aerospace and automotive. His achievements highlight a commitment to automation and precision, making his work a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring NDT technologies.
