Scope

• The journal deals with all aspects of the testing of materials and of components.该刊涉及材料与构件测试的各个方面。

• It puts a special weight on the transfer of laboratory research into industrial application.该刊特别重视把实验室研究转移到工业应用。

• Non-destructive test procedures are a named subject, so a part may be examined without being broken.无损检测方法是一个列出的主题，因此可以在不破坏构件的情况下对其进行检查。

• Destructive testing is covered as well, and a specimen may be taken to failure to learn its limit.破坏性试验也在覆盖之列，可以把试件加载至失效以了解其极限。

• Optical methods appear among the procedures, and a surface is studied by the way it carries light.光学方法出现在这些方法之中，表面通过其传光方式来研究。

• Physical test procedures are covered, since hardness and strength are read from the response of a specimen.物理检测方法也在覆盖之列，因为硬度与强度是从试件的响应中读出的。

• Chemical test procedures are taken, so the composition of a material may be examined.化学检测方法会被接收，因此材料的成分可以被检视。

• The characterisation of materials is a central subject, and a paper may report how a new alloy behaves.材料的表征是核心主题，论文可以报告一种新合金的表现。

• Materials processing is studied, since the way a part is made shapes what it can do.材料加工受到研究，因为构件的制造方式塑造了它能做什么。

• The properties of a material are placed beside the test that reveals them.材料的性能与揭示它们的试验并列考察。

• Life cycle engineering is a named area, which brings the whole service of a part into view.寿命周期工程是一个列出的方向，这把构件的整个服役过程纳入视野。

• The journal sits where materials engineering meets mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry.该刊位于材料工程与机械工程，物理学及化学相交之处。

• Applications are set beside the laboratory result, so a finding is shown at work in practice.应用与实验室结果并列，因此一项发现被展示为在实践中的运用。

• Fatigue testing is a named subject, since repeated loading explains many failures in service.疲劳试验是一个列出的主题，因为反复加载解释了服役中的许多失效。

• Corrosion testing is covered, and a paper may report how a coating holds up in a hostile environment.腐蚀试验也在覆盖之列，论文可以报告一种涂层在恶劣环境中如何经受考验。

• Weld inspection appears among the applications, because a joint is often where a part begins to fail.焊缝检验出现在其应用之中，因为接头常常是构件开始失效之处。

• The testing of additive manufactured parts is studied, since a new process brings its own defects.增材制造零件的测试受到研究，因为新工艺带来其自身的缺陷。

• Composite materials are examined, and their failure under load is read from the test record.复合材料受到检验，其在载荷下的失效从试验记录中读出。

• The journal takes work on measurement uncertainty, because a test result means little without it.该刊接收测量不确定度方面的工作，因为试验结果在缺乏它时意义甚微。

• Standards and their effect on how a test is run are discussed in its pages.标准及其对试验执行方式的影响在其版面中得到讨论。

• Acoustic emission and ultrasonic methods appear among the techniques the journal covers.声发射与超声方法出现在该刊所覆盖的技术之中。

• The journal has served the testing community for more than sixty years.该刊为检测界服务已逾六十年。

• It is read by engineers in factories as well as by researchers in institutes.工厂里的工程师与研究所的研究者都阅读该刊。

• The title carries a slogan that names materials, components, technology and application.该刊带有一句标语，标出材料，构件，技术与应用。

• Its publisher also issues a range of other titles in engineering and in the natural sciences.其出版方还发行工程与自然科学领域的一系列其他刊物。

• A paper is judged on the test and on what the result shows, rather than on the fame of the method alone.论文依据试验及结果显示的内容评判，而不只依据方法的名气。

• The journal states that it does not charge a fee to an author who declines the open access route.该刊声明，拒绝开放获取路径的作者不被收取费用。

• The journal publishes work on the testing of metals, of polymers and of composites, and it places a test result beside the use the part was made for.该刊发表金属，聚合物与复合材料的测试工作，并把试验结果与构件的预定用途并列。

• A paper may report a new procedure and explain what it can find that an older method misses, which is the kind of comparison the journal favours.论文可以报告一种新方法并说明它能发现旧方法所遗漏的什么，这正是该刊偏好的那类比较。

• Case studies from industry are taken, because a problem met in a plant often raises a question that a laboratory has not yet framed.来自工业界的案例研究会被接收，因为工厂中遇到的问题常会提出实验室尚未界定的疑问。

• The journal covers the testing of pipelines, of pressure vessels and of structures, since a failure there can have severe consequences.该刊覆盖管道，压力容器与结构的检测，因为那里的失效可能带来严重后果。

• It carries work on the relationship between the process that makes a part and the defects that process tends to leave behind.该刊载有构件制造工艺与该工艺往往留下的缺陷之间关系的研究。

• It publishes work on the inspection of welded joints, of castings and of forgings, since each brings its own kind of flaw.该刊发表焊接接头，铸件与锻件的检验工作，因为每一种都带来其自身的缺陷类型。

• The journal takes papers on the testing of coatings and of surface treatments, where a thin layer decides the life of a part.该刊接收涂层与表面处理的测试论文，其中薄薄一层决定了构件的寿命。

• A paper may set out a test that is quick enough for a production line and still reliable enough to trust.论文可以提出一种试验，既快到足以用于生产线，又可靠到足以信赖。

• Work on the failure analysis of a broken component is taken, since the cause is often found in how it was tested, or in how it was not.断裂构件的失效分析工作会被接收，因为原因常在于它如何被检测，或在于它未被检测。
