Abstract: Machining technology plays a major role in modern manufacturing industries due to the growing demand for equipment and products for aerospace, automotive, precision machinery sectors etc. A key issue associated with any type of machining operation is the accelerated tool wear which leads to shorter tool life, thus to low machining precision and decreased productivity. In this paper an electromagnetic Non-Destructive Testing method (NDT), and in particular Eddy Current Testing (ECT), is used to detect the wear of used cutting tools vs a new one.

Keywords: Eddy Current Testing, machinery tools, non-destructive evaluation
