The principles of electromagnetic induction form the basis of eddy current inspection techniques, used to inspect metallic parts for flaws and other defects. Such testing is particularly useful for the detection of surface or near-surface defects, alloy sorting, conductivity thickness measurements and the inspection of bolt holes and other cylindrical areas.
Using a portable, hand-held probe, currents are induced from a magnetic field in the test piece affecting the magnitude and phase in the probe coil – thus providing accurate measurement readings.
- Crack detection
- Material and coating thickness measurements
- Conductivity measurements for material identification, heat damage detection and monitoring and determination of casing depth
In addition to its versatility EC has a number of key advantages:
- Sensitivity to small cracks and other defects
- Surface and near-surface detection
- Immediate results feedback
- Lightweight and portable probe kit
- Versatility of use
- Test objects need minimal preparation
- Probe is sensitive in either contact or non-contact mode
