Lorentz force eddy current testing (LET) is a novel nondestructive testing technique which can be applied preferably to the identification of internal defects in nonmagnetic moving conductors. The LET is compared (similar testing conditions) with the classical eddy current testing (ECT). Numerical FEM simulations have been performed to analyze the measurements as well as the identification of internal defects in nonmagnetic conductors. The results are compared with measurements to test the feasibility of defect identification. Finally, the use of LET measurements to estimate of the electrical conductors under test are described as well.

The formation and analysis of eddy current probe signals obtained in pulsed excitation mode is considered. The proposed method of implementing pulsed eddy current testing with the formation of attenuating harmonic oscillations is more resistant to the effects of noise and interference that accompany the process of inspected object parameters evaluation. The equivalent scheme of the system “test object–eddy current probe” is developed and analyzed. The obtained mathematical model of the eddy current probe signals allowed proposing the natural frequency and the attenuation as informative signals parameters, which are determined from signals phase and amplitude characteristics. Developed algorithm and the proposed methodology was implemented for evaluation of eddy current signals parameters and related characteristics of testing objects. This method was experimentally verified on a series of different test specimens. The obtained results confirm the possibility to apply the proposed informative signals to solve some problems concerned with automated eddy current testing.

The equivalent scheme of the system “test object–eddy current probe” is developed and analyzed. The obtained mathematical model of the eddy current probe signals allows proposing the natural frequency and the attenuation as informative signals parameters, which are determined from signal phase and amplitude characteristics. Methods of increasing the accuracy of determining the eddy current probe signals attenuation and frequency using trends of signals phase and amplitude characteristics are considered. The proposed signal processing method was verified by modeling the process of determining the eddy current probe signals attenuation and the frequency from the signal with Gaussian noise. Algorithmic and software were developed based on the simulation results and the proposed improved methodology was implemented for determining signals parameters and related parameters and characteristics of testing objects.

This paper presents a new method for nondestructive testing—a pulsed multifrequency excitation and spectrogram eddy current testing (PMFES-ECT), which is an extension of the multifrequency excitation and spectrogram eddy current testing. The new method uses excitation in the form of pulses repeated at a specified time, containing several periods of a waveform consisting of the sum of sinusoids with a selected frequency, amplitude and phase. This solution allows the maintenance of the advantages of multifrequency excitation and, at the same time, generates high energy pulses similar to those used in pulse eddy current testing (PECT). The effectiveness of the new method was confirmed by numerical simulations and the measurement of thin Inconel plates, consisting of notches manufactured by the electric-discharge method.

This study proposes a probability of detection (POD) model to quantitatively evaluate the capability of eddy current testing to detect flaws on the inner surface of pressure vessels cladded by stainless steel and in the presence of high noise level. Welded plate samples with drill holes were prepared to simulate corrosion that typically appears on the inner surface of large-scale pressure vessels. The signals generated by the drill holes and the noise caused by the weld were examined using eddy current testing. A hit/miss-based POD model with multiple flaw parameters and multiple signal features was proposed to analyze the measured signals. It is shown that the proposed model is able to more reasonably characterize the detectability of eddy current signals compared to conventional models that consider a single signal feature.
