1 Eddy Current Introduction Products & capability overview

2 History of Criterion NDT, Inc s Criterion NDT personnel worked for Zetec, Inc. The Component Testing (CT) market segment was established. Zetec instrumentation was developed specifically to address the needs of component manufacturers for crack and material structure testing Zetec was acquired by Roper Industries and restructuring ensued The CT eddy current business unit was transferred to Uson L.P., a Sister company of Zetec within the Roper Corporation. The CT eddy current business grew steadily until the economic downturn in late Uson sold the CT business unit to the CT group of employees. July 2009 Criterion NDT officially opens for business in Auburn Washington. Criterion NDT becomes a distributor for the Zetec Component Testing instrumentation product line. Criterion NDT becomes a manufacturer of standard and custom cables, probes, coils and fixturing for eddy current component testing Criterion NDT Launches the all new CR-11 Eddy Current Instrument for component crack & thread test applications.

3 Primary magnetic field interacts with the eddy current secondary magnetic field. Coil Coil's magnetic field Eddy currents Eddy current's magnetic field Conductive material

4 What can it do? 1. Hardness/Case depth/material Structure verification 2. Crack/Flaw detection 3. Alloy sorting 4. Thread testing 5. Feature verification 6. On or off line inspection 7. Dynamic or Static testing

5 Limitations of eddy current testing. Varied product geometry (excessive curves, angles, proximity to edges) can make testing difficult if at all possible. Surface condition excessive roughness. Need to be very close to the part under test. Excessive or varying product temperatures. Product must be electrically conductive. Product positioning repeatability

6 Test Instrumentation options Criterion NDT CR-11 Continuous or Discreet Product Testing Crack, Thread & Alloy Testing Single-frequency Single Coil/Probe In-Line testing capable High Sampling Rate Advanced Filtering Auto Enable Feature

7 Test Instrumentation Zetec InSite HT/CT Discreet & Continuous Component Testing Crack & Feature, Hardness & Alloy Sorting Multi-frequency Multi-Coil/Probe In-Line testing High Sampling Rate Advanced Filtering

8 Crack and Flaw Detection Probes Replaceable coils allow the probes to be repaired, lowering the cost of ownership. Custom probes Standard probes

9 Crack & Flaw Detection Probe Array Custom, multi-coil, probes are designed to inspect critical areas in a component

10 Flaw response in single channel or multi-channel display with scrolling strip chart and test status.

11 Material Structure / Heat Treat Process Verification Probes/Coils Standard Coils Custom Coils

12 Heat Treat Detection Many manufactured parts require heat treating Induction heating processes allow specific areas to be heated and quenched Failures include: Shallow case, misplaced case, delayed quench, air cooled, short heat cycle

100% in-line testing at production line speeds, while

13 Heat Treat Detection Systems Probes and instruments can be combined with material handling stations to provide 100% in-line testing at production line speeds, while rejecting all parts with improper heat treatment properties.

14 Channel levels, data point, test lights and test trends offer a variety of ways to observe the test data results from the InSite instrument.

15 Target Markets Bearings Ball, tapered roller, cone. Hubs and Spindles Bearing assemblies. Gears Shafts Pistons Diesel (& gasoline type). Bar, Tube & Wire - non-ferrous materials. Fasteners (bolts, clips, pins) All manufacturers of quality and/or safety critical components

16 Major Customers General Motors Delphi Honda Visteon Dana Ford BD Medical Schaeffler Alcoa / SAPA Chase Brass Faber Kyklos Bearing Timken Torrington NTN Hoover PMG GKN Mahle Dalmine Federal Mogul Karl Schmidt Unisia

17 Over 800 systems installed Worldwide North America (Canada, USA, Mexico) South America (Brazil, Argentina) Europe (Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain) Asia (China, South Korea, India, Singapore)
