This paper proposes to evaluate the local wall thinning of carbon steel pipe using an eddy current method. Firstly, the feature signals are determined by correlation analysis of the signals and the wall thinning sizes. Subsequently, the models for estimating the residual wall thickness rt is constructed using Gaussian process regression (GPR). Finally, the applicability of the models to the evaluation of local wall thinning is verified by simulation and experiment.

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.

The article presents the results of the influence of geometrical features of defects in materials on the level of identification by the eddy current method. The study involved the inner ring of the tapered roller bearing. Four test defects, located at a constant distance from the inner surface, and a subsurface marker defect were performed in the treadmill of the tested ring. The test defects had a constant cross-sectional area in a perpendicular direction to the surface of the eddy current head. The geometrical features of each defect were the following: shape, the perimeter of the defect projected onto the surface of the ring, and the width and height of the defect projected on the face of the measuring head. The study involved an inner surface (subsurface defect detection) and external surface (the study of surface defects). It has been shown that the shape of the defect affects the level of detection using the eddy current method.
