Surface Porosity Inspection – Research Objectives
• Establish a methodology necessary for non-contact inspection of porosity defects.
• Determine if the above methodology can reliably detect porosity defects according to GM/DCX specifications.
• Determine if the above methodology can be implemented in-line (i.e. at line rates).
• Validate the method with production cylinder headsand blocks.

• Areas on the deck face of an engine cylinder head are isolated one from the other to prevent the mix of water, oil and combustion
gasses.

Surface Porosity Inspection Study Achievements (1 of 2)
• Developed a Reconfigurable Inspection Machine (RIM) for porosity inspection on cylinder heads.
• Developed algorithms, software for detecting and classifying surface porosity. (Able to classify pores by diameter, x-y location, and specification region.)
• Conceptualized a method for depth validation of detected pores using side lightning.

Surface Porosity Inspection Study Achievements (2 of 2)
• Able to detect pores with diameter > 300 micrometer.
• Able to detect isolated and edge-connected pores on aluminum and cast-iron parts.
• Created a user-friendly software interface for reporting and analyzing defects.
• Created a software tool for assessing the repeatability of the porosity inspection system.
• As a result of this research GM built an inspection machine and DCX is testing it in a plant.

System Evaluation at GEMAOver 600 engine blocks were inspected by the RIM. 85% of bad parts were correctly rejected. (15% missed detections due to defects other than pores and template misalignment)90% of good parts were correctly accepted. (10% false alarms mainly due to template misalignment)
