Abstract: This paper has investigated the possibility of applying nondestructive evaluation technique for finding the defects in electroplated materials. Planar meander and mesh type magnetic sensors have been considered and their relative performance have been compared based on a single criterion that the effective area of the material surface covered by each type of sensor is same.
