At present the need of nondestructive testing of rope bridges state appears often. Modern maintenance trends using non-destructive checking allow to detect the state of these materials in service without breaking their integrity. From the point of view of so far used non-destructive testing methods the area of cable end is not accessible. The magnetic properties research of these materials and the subsequent design of new structures for scanning elements will enable non-destructive monitoring of the state of the ropes steel material of static constructions, especially their anchoring. The article aims to present the results from tracking of the magnetic flux around the cable end and signal runs from particular designed and investigated scanning elements placed above artificial defects created closely to the cable end.

Based on the magnetic theory, the paper reviewed the factors of affecting the distribution of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) on the ferromagnetic material and analyzed the wire rope defects characters from MFL signal. A non-destructive testing (NDT) instrument of steel wire rope using magnetic flux leakage was presented in this paper. By using permanent magnets to magnetize wire rope and using Hall element arrays to test MFL, Intelligent signal processing was applied for effective discrimination of wire rope’s flaws. The experiment results show the degree and the width of defects, the annular distribution of localized flaws such as concentrated or dispersive broken wires can be well distinguished. The instrument can be used conveniently with good resolution and repeatability and can meet the requirement of real time.

AbstractAs a promising non-destructive testing (NDT) method, magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing has been widely used for steel structure inspection. However, MFL testing still faces a great challenge to detect inner defects. Existing MFL course researches mainly focus on surface-breaking defects while that of inner defects is overlooked. In the paper, MFL course of inner defects is investigated by building magnetic circuit models, performing numerical simulations, and conducting MFL experiments. It is found that the near-surface wall has an enhancing effect on the MFL course due to higher permeability of steel than that of air. Further, a high-sensitivity MFL testing method consisting of Helmholtz coil magnetization and induction coil with a high permeability core is proposed to increase the detectable depth of inner defects. Experimental results show that inner defects with buried depth up to 80.0 mm can be detected, suggesting that the proposed MFL method has the potential to detect deeply-buried defects and has a promising future in the field of NDT.

In an actual structure, the arrangement of steel bars is complicated, there are many factors affecting the corrosion of steel bars, and these factors affect each other. However, accurately reflecting the corrosion of steel bars in actual engineering through theoretical calculations is difficult. Besides, it is impossible to detect and evaluate steel bars rust completely and accurately. This article is based on spontaneous magnetic leakage detection technology and adopts the method of stage corrosion and scanning along the reinforcing bar. Based on spontaneous magnetic flux leakage detection technology, the linear change rate of the tangential component curve of the magnetic flux leakage signal generated after the corrosion of a steel bar is studied, and a comparison is made between the steel bar coated concrete samples with different steel bar diameters. In this paper, the “origin of magnetic flux leakage signal” is defined as a reference point, which is convenient for effectively comparing the magnetic signal curves under all operating conditions. Besides, the “rust-magnetic fluctuation parameter” is proposed to accurately reflect the sudden change of leakage magnetic field caused by disconnection due to the corrosion of a steel bar. A new data processing method is provided for the non-destructive testing of steel corrosion using the spontaneous magnetic flux leakage effect, which can effectively reduce the influence of steel bar diameter on magnetic flux leakage signal and improve the precision of non-destructive testing technology of steel bar corrosion using the metal magnetic memory effect.
