Non-destructive testing is of major importance for quality assurance of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in aerospace industry. It is of interest to obtain information of the 3D inner micro-structure of CFRP. A promising option is the usage of micro-CT inspection. At EADS Innovation Works we operate a high resolution and high contrast micro-Computed Tomography system. It is designed and built according to our specifications especially for inspection of CFRP. State-of-the art software tools are used to characterize the 3D inner micro-structure. In this paper the different methods, tools and results obtained with this system will be presented. This includes CFRP samples with cracks, impact damage, delaminations, porosity, and the detection of fiber orientations. The paper also discusses the potential of quantitative CT based on dual energy technique.
