Detection of the Corrosion of Axisymmetric Elements by Means of the Eddy Current Testing Method

The article describes the influence the operating frequency of the transducer on the possibility to detect corrosion using the eddy current method. A bearing ring with two artificially made corrosion defects was used as a test object. The authors determined the characteristics of the defect’s signal value in the function of frequency. The results obtained were then compared to the peak-to-peak value of the signal for a model ring. The tests confirmed the possibility of automatic detection of corrosion on the surface of bearing rings using the eddy current method.

Eddy Current Transducer

The first publications describing the physical principles of the non-destructive remote field eddy current testing method appeared about 30 years ago. This method allows to significantly expand the field of application of eddy current testing. However, due to the lack of a theoretical justification, this method did not get widespread use around the world. Domestic publications in this area are completely absent, and the descriptions given in few foreign publications often contradict each other. There are no results of full-scale simulation using numerical methods in available domestic and foreign sources. The distinctive feature of this method under consideration is the ability of detecting defects on the external (with respect to the eddy current transducer) side of the tested object, which is impossible for the classical eddy current method due to the limited eddy current penetration depth. The basics of the method were considered, the distinctive features were presented, and the advantages and disadvantages of remote field eddy current testing of metals were pointed out. A numerical simulation with the subsequent analysis of the obtained results has been carried out, the transducer design for remote field eddy current testing is given. The influence of various factors on the change in the added voltage of the signal coil of the eddy current transducer in the presence of a defect in the external wall of the tube was considered. Expressions that determine the optimal ratio of the diameters of the transducer and the tested product were obtained. The values of the test parameters and the limiting wall thickness of the tested ferromagnetic product were determined.

Manganese Steels

An investigation was conducted to explore the applicability of eddy current nondestructive evaluation technique for the characterization of manganese steels. Specimens of two different types of manganese steels were subjected to various compression loads. The specimens were then evaluated by mechanical and eddy current testing. The hardness and eddy current values were increased due to conversion of austenite to martensite. In this study the correlation between eddy current parameters and compression load was discussed.
