To overcome the shortcomings of existing magneto-optical imaging, such as the saturation of an image under a constant magnetic field and the ambiguity of an image under an alternating magnetic field, imaging using a combined magnetic field is presented in this research. Weld defect samples include a laser-cut groove, a wire-cut penetrating groove, a pit and a Z-shaped crack. Magneto-optical imaging experiments were carried out under different magnetic fields. Contour extraction and standard deviation calculations were carried out for all magneto-optical images and the maximum standard deviation of the laser-cut groove under an alternating magnetic field was 20.9, which was less than the maximum value of 37.4 under a combined magnetic field. The experimental results show that the contrast of a magneto-optical image obtained under the combined magnetic field is greater than that obtained under the alternating magnetic field for all defects. The proposed combined magnetic field could optimise the magneto-optical imaging effect for weld defects under the existing excitation method to a certain extent.

The skin-depth solution for the penetration of an alternating magnetic field into a conductor breaks down in the vicinity of sharp corners, yet it is precisely such regions which are important in the study of liquid metal flows. This paper considers the behaviour of an alternating or rotating potential field diffusing into a two-dimensional wedge of arbitrary angle. The problem is reduced to a pair of integral equations over the boundary of the wedge which are solved numerically. The variation of the field lines over a time period is shown and the implications of the locally large Lorentz force for the fluid flow are discussed.
