Chirp and Multi-frequency Eddy Current Non-destructive Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an eddy current (EC) based non-destructive testing system used for experimental verification of optimized chirp signal. The time-frequency content of the EC driving signal is synthesized with respect to material properties. We are expecting an improvement in sensitivity of crack and corrosion detection.

Design of Nondestructive System for Hardness of Carbonitrided Steel Parts Using Eddy Current Testing Method: Case study on the Tappet Parts
In this paper, a non-destructive eddy current test system was designed to evaluate the surface hardness of the carbonitrided steel parts. For this purpose, various samples of the tappet were used after the surface hardening and grinding operations as control samples and, if necessary, were subjected to destructive and non-destructive tests. Microstructural studies were performed with a microsco...
متن کاملQUALITY CONTROL OF PRECIPITATION HARDENED ALUMINIUM ALLOY PARTS VIA EDDY-CURRENT NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION
Precipitation hardening is the most common method in the strengthening of aluminium alloys. This method relies on the decrease of solid solubility with temperature reduction to produce fine precipitations which impede the movement of dislocations. The quality control of aluminium alloy specimens is an important concern of engineers. Among different methods, non-destructive techniques are the...
متن کاملNon-Destructive Techniques Based on Eddy Current Testing
Non-destructive techniques are used widely in the metal industry in order to control the quality of materials. Eddy current testing is one of the most extensively used non-destructive techniques for inspecting electrically conductive materials at very high speeds that does not require any contact between the test piece and the sensor. This paper includes an overview of the fundamentals and main...
متن کاملQuantitative measuring of pearlite in carbon steels using electromagnetic sensor
Non-destructive Eddy current (EC) technique has long been used to detect discontinuities in materials. Recently, its application has been extended to characterize materials microstructure. In order to identify different microstructures, four plain carbon steel bars with different chemical compositions (AISI 1015, 1035, 1045 and 1080) were used in annealed condition. The pearlite percentage, car...
متن کاملPulsed Eddy Currents: A New Trend in Non-destructive Evaluation of Conductive Materials
Abstrac t Pulsed eddy current (PEC) is a new technique of non-destructive material evaluation (NDE). In comparison with other eddy current techniques, PEC uses pulsed excitation that is characterized by wide frequency content and thus the response carries more complex information about a tested object. PEC method is used in many NDE common applications such as inspection of defects, measurement...
