FAQ
What is eddy current used for?
Eddy current testing is used to detect surface and near-surface responses in conductive materials, including some examinations through non-conductive paint or coatings. It is fast and needs no couplant.
Answer
Eddy current testing is used to detect surface and near-surface responses in conductive materials, including some examinations through non-conductive paint or coatings. It is fast and needs no couplant.
It is useful for fatigue-crack screening on EWPs, cranes and high-duty equipment, but lift-off, coating thickness, geometry, conductivity and signal interpretation affect sensitivity.
