Abstract

In Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), eddy current techniques are commonly used for the detection of hidden material defects in metallic structures. Conventionally, one works with an excitation coil generating a field at a distinct frequency. The eddy currents are deviated by materials flaws and the resulting distorted field is sensed by a secondary coil. Because of the law of induction, this technique has its limitations in the low frequency range. This leads to a decrease of the Probability of flaw Detection (POD) in larger depths.
