CERAM Search for Industry Backing to Develop Speckle Inferometry

Jun 3 2003

In January, CERAM Research submitted an outline proposal under the Sustainable Technologies Initiative (STI) regarding Speckle Inferometry, a technique that has the potential to reveal internal faults such as voids and invisible surface cracks in green and fired materials.

Speckle Inferometry is a non-destructive testing technology that CERAM believe can be integrated in production lines to detect faults in green ware, preventing them from becoming scrap after having been fired. Ultimately, it will help to improve product quality and end user confidence.

The STI scheme uses funding from EPSRC and DTI for projects involving university and/or research organisations with industry collaboration. Although the outline proposal was accepted, CERAM were unable to attract sufficient industry collaboration by the May deadline. They have however been granted permission to submit a full proposal before September 26 and are still looking for industry based collaborators.
