So fundamental isthis relationship that the book
Materials and Processesfor NDT Technology
was prepared
and published in 1981 and revised in 2016. The questions
here follow the chapters in this second, updated edition of
the book.
As a suggestion in the use of this section of the study
guide, try to answer the questions about a particular chapter
before proceeding to the next chapter. If the subject matter
is unfamiliar, or ifthe questions are difficult to answer, read
the chapter, especially the section(s) referenced by the ques-
tion. The material in the book ispresented specifically with
the NDT technologist in mind.
It
is concise and well illus-
trated, but it does not require an engineering or scientific
background to be comprehended. Complex theories and
unimportant details are not included.
The Basic Examination Level III Topical Outline for 3.0
Basic Materials, Fabrication, and Product Technology in

Qualification ofNondestructive Testing Personnel
(2016) is
presented below for your reference:
Overview
Commensurate with the need for NDT Level III person-
nel to have basic knowledge of materials and processes,
books have been written specifically for the purpose of pre-
senting the fundamentals of these subjects from an NDT
perspective. Clearly, not all NDT Level III personnel need
to specialize in depth in more than a few facets of industrial
materials and manufacturing processes. However, the rela-
tionships between NDT technology and materials and pro-
cessing are pervasive. NDT personnel charged with the
responsibilities of selecting appropriate NDT methods,
developing techniques and procedures, and directing the
efforts of others in providing meaningful and reliable NDT
must have a fundamental and broad knowledge of the ori-
gins, nature, behavior, and application of materials and the
processes by which they are shaped into the products of
today's commerce.
The importance of the relationships between NDT and
materials and processing technology is characterized in the
ASNT Level III Basic Examination. Approximately
one-third of the Basic Examination covers fundamentals of
basic materials, fabrication, and product technology. Listed
