Do you use electrically conductive material? Have you already carried out tests for internal faults or the thickness of your non-magnetic materials? Our specialists would be happy to provide you with their expertise and will arrange for the necessary checks on your materials.
This form of non-destructive testing offers a number of possibilities: the detection of surface defects or faults very close to the surface, the sorting of materials and material types, the measurement of thickness of non-magnetic materials or of a covering layer, etc.
As regards the detection of defects close to the surface, the eddy current penetration depth and therefore the testing depth itself is directly dependent on the electrical and magnetic properties of the material (from a few hundred microns for steel to a few millimetres for aluminium), and on the probe frequency used.
Various techniques can be used for eddy current tests: checks can be carried out manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically. The advantage of fully automatic testing is that it achieves exact mapping, since the robot scans the entire surface.
