Advances In Eddy Current Array Sensor Technology
Eddy Current array technology can be an extremely useful tool for increasing productivity and detection capabilities for surfaces. Typical surface inspection techniques such as Dye Penetrant methods, require chemicals and development time, whereas an eddy current technique can be done cleanly and nearly instantly with no chemical clean up afterwards. New probe technology makes flexible arrays easier and cheaper to use, and eddy current systems and software easier to apply to new testing requirements, and simple enough for entry level technicians to learn and operate. The outcome is better, more uniform test with a digital record. And since the eddy current arrays are tunable to a particular defect type or size, the Probability of Detection (POD) increases dramatically for the defects of interest compared to manual single channel eddy current inspection, while decreasing the likelihood of false defect calls. This paper will describe some of the technology available for using Eddy Current Array as a test solution, as well as some sample applications.
