Eddy Current Testing

Eddy Current Testing is a non-destructive method used to detect flaws in metal objects. It involves passing a coil with an electric current over the metal surface, creating a changing magnetic field that induces tiny electrical currents called eddy currents in the metal. If there are cracks or defects, they disturb these currents, altering the magnetic field. By measuring these changes with specialized equipment, inspectors can identify and locate imperfections without damaging the material. This technique is fast, precise, and widely used in industries like aerospace, manufacturing, and maintenance for ensuring the safety and integrity of metal parts.
