Electromagnetic acoustic testing

Eddy current techniques are applied in nondestructive testing of surface and sub-surface layers (detection of metal discontinuities), structure analysis, estimation of coat thickness, dimensions, chemistry, and heat treatment quality. Eddy current testing is based on the analysis of the interaction between external and eddy current electromagnetic fields that are induced in test objects. Eddy currents are electric current loops which are excited in a conductor while changing the magnetic field that permeates it. The distinctive feature of eddy current inspection is that it can be performed without any contact between a flaw detector and object under test. The interaction is normally achieved at a short distance which is, nevertheless, sufficient for moving the probe relative to the object. This enables the procurement of excellent measurements even when test objects are moving at a high rate of speed.

The electromagnetic acoustic (EMA) technique is a combined method of nondestructive testing based on three effects of the interaction between magnetic fields and the test object: magnetostrictive, magnetic, and electrodynamic effects. The electrodynamic effect is caused by inducing eddy currents in a conductive material that interact with constant magnetic field, which, in its turn, initiates crystal-lattice vibrations (whereas elastic acoustic oscillations occur due to mechanical stresses). EMA transducers are capable of generating horizontally & vertically polarized, longitudinal, shear, Lamb, and Rayleigh waves. Horizontally polarized shear waves have minimum attenuation, diffraction, and metal structure refraction coefficients. The EMA technique allows for noncontact ultrasonic examination of material integrity at high temperatures.

NDT ultrasonic inspection techniques allow the identification of defects located at a considerable depth in various materials, products, and weld joints. Compared to other nondestructive testing methods, ultrasonic flaw detection has significant advantages: a high sensitivity to the most hazardous defects like cracks or incomplete penetration; high capacity; and the ability to supervise the testing directly from an operator’s workplace with no process interruption – all at low operational cost. Ultrasonic examination is applied in a wide range of industries: power, heavy machinery, railroad, ship building, and the chemical sector. Hundreds of thousands of meters of structural welds, tens of thousands of pipe joints, boiler units, rail weld joints, as well as the quality of pressurized tank parts, forgings, tubes, rolled plates and other products are annually inspected by means of ultrasonic NDT techniques.
