Sub-surface, high-resolution, inspection of paints and coatings using non-destructive laser tomography

Project Details

Description

The project investigates the use of optical coherence tomography for non-destructive inspection of ship paints below the surface. The project is supported by The Danish Maritime Fund (Project no. 2019-137)

Key findings

- Development of a portable OCT scanning system
- Field study at Yacht Service ApS on Refshale island
- Demonstrated imaging of defects, such as rust and cracks, as well as particles below the surface of different types of paints
