eddy current testing
Eddy Current Testing is a non-destructive method that uses electromagnetic induction to detect surface or subsurface flaws in conductive metals. By such means, cracks, corrosion, or changes in properties of the material could be detected without affecting the tested component.
Key Features:
- Non-destructive: Permits testing of metal parts without influencing or damaging any component of the test object with preservation of integrity.
- Surface Defect Sensitive: Effectively finds small cracks, corrosion, and wear, especially those that occur on or near the surface.
- Fast and Accurate: Delivers instant results and is, therefore, ideally suited for routine inspection and quality control on production line sites.
Eddy current testing finds its application in the quality assurance of diverse industries like aerospace, automotive, and power generation. It enables fast, repeatable, and reliable inspection of critical metal components to assure their safety and performance. The technique remains a preferred choice in many maintenance and in-service inspections of high-value assets due to its ability to detect hidden flaws without disassembly.
