Application of Lorentz force eddy current testing and eddy current testing on moving nonmagnetic conductors
Abstract
Lorentz force eddy current testing is a novel nondestructive testing technique which can be applied preferably to the identification of internal defects in non-ferromagnetic moving conductors. This paper describes the comparison of this new technique with well-known eddy current testing. Measurements and numerical simulations have been done for both techniques for artificial subsurface defects in a test specimen made of Aluminum alloy moving with constant velocity.
