Eddy Current Testing and Sizing of Fatigue Cracks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study proposes an investment for the evaluation of fatigue cracks by eddy current testing (ECT). Fatigue cracks (FC) manufactured on SUS316 plates are detected using ECT. Inverse analysis is applied to the ECT signals and both crack depth and length are estimated. Two models are applied, one is the EDM model without conductivity, and the other is the SCC model with partial conductivity. The detection and sizing results are discussed in this paper.

متن کاملHealing of Fatigue Crack in 1045 Steel by Using Eddy Current Treatment
In order to investigate the methods to heal fatigue cracks in metals, tubular specimens of 1045 steel with axial and radial fatigue cracks were treated under the eddy current. The optical microscope was employed to examine the change of fatigue cracks of specimens before and after the eddy current treatment. The results show that the fatigue cracks along the axial direction of the specimen coul...
