In radiographic test, type of defect not detectable by X-Ray is

  • A. Delamination in cladded sheet
  • B. Porosity in castings
  • C. Tungsten inclusion in TIG weld
  • D. Under cut in metal arc welding

Answer: D. Under cut in metal arc welding

Explanation: Radiography is best for volumetric defects. Surface defects like undercut are better detected visually or with penetrants. Also laminar defects perpendicular to beam are hard to detect.
