Eddy Current Inspection

Is a method suitable for the inspection of surface or near surface defects of most metals and to separate metals and alloys and their heat treat condition. It can be applied to parts or assemblies where the suspected detected area is accessible to contact by the eddy current probe. The inspection is performed by inducting eddy currents into a part and electronically observing variations in the induced field. The character of observed field change is interpreted to determine the nature of defect condition.
