Eddy Current Testing

Abstract

Eddy current testing is a general term for the inspection of conductive materials using an induced electro‐magnetic field. The flow of this field is affected by the presence of defects within the material and the charges are detected by suitable instruments which reveal their location and nature. This type of testing does not alter the material in any way therefore giving rise to the term non‐destructive testing.
