Eddy current testing(ETC)is a technique used for untouched detection on metal parts .under simulation of alternating current ,probe senses vortex in detected part. Any discontinuity or material properties that change vortex will be detected by probe,and be regarded as potential flaw。Over the years,probe technique and data processing has achieved continuous progress,at present,the vortex technique has been universally accepted as a fast、simple、accurate technique。This is exactly eddy current technique widely used in aviation、automobile、petrochemical engineering as well as power generation,detecting aluminum、stainless steel 、copper、titanium、brass、uniloy alloy,even carbon steel and other surface or near surface flaw。
Simple and reliable detecting technique,used for detecting flaw on conducting material surface or near surface
Using high speed revolution scanner and probe to detect workpiece
Vortex probe
Olympus NDT standard vortex probe has following types
Bolt hole probe
Surface probe with many kinds of shapes and configurations
Low pass Spot and Ring probe
Sliding probe
Wheel probe
Special probe used for special application
The probe shape used by Vortex detecting can be changeable,so as to be suitable for special application
Under selected frequency,using alternating current of probe to produce magnetic field around the probe
When coil is close to conductive material ,the material will produce induced vortex
If flaw in conductive material disturbs vortex ,the magnetic coupling of probe will be changed,by analyzing impedance change of measuring coil we can read flaw signal
Vortex software
Impedance planar graph and band chart display
User can choose the duration of the screen
Reference signal can coverage diagram can be kept on the screen,so as to be convenient to read signal
Under freeze mode ,we can rotate signal or make gain adjustment,and we don’t have to make probe fixed on the workpiece
Zoom and the best page display adjustment function
