Definitions for "EDDY CURRENT TESTING"
Non destructive testing method in which eddy current flow is induced in the test object. Changes in the flow caused by variations in the object are reflected into a nearby coil or coils for subsequent analysis by suitable instrumentation and techniques.
The detection of discontinuities by observation of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and metals.
A non-destuctive test method that induces an electrical current into a test piece by an alternating magnetic field. This is accomplished by the use of different probes or coils and eddy current devices operating at frequencies that are appropriate for the material being tested.
