NDT – Few Other Methods

Image
Here are some rarely used  NDT – Few Other Methods 1.   Eddy Current Testing – ET: Eddy-current inspection uses  electromagnetic induction  to detect flaws in  conductive  materials. A circular coil carrying current is placed in proximity to the test specimen (electrically conductive). The alternating current in the coil generates changing magnetic field which interacts with test specimen and generates eddy current. The  term eddy current  (also called Foucault currents) comes from analogous currents seen in   water  where localized areas of turbulence  known as eddies  give rise to persistent vortices. When alternating current is applied to the conductor, such as copper wire, a magnetic field develops in and around the conductor. Variations in the electrical conductivity or magnetic permeability of the test object, or the presence of any flaws, will cause a change in eddy current. A corresponding change in the phase ...
