Description
Summary:Eddy current testing is a widely applied non-destructive technique in different sections of industries. Nowadays eddy current testing is an accurate, widely used and well-understood inspection technique, particularly in the aircraft and nuclear industries. The main purpose of this paper is to construct an eddy current probe by using transmission coil and using a Giant Magneto resistance (GMR) sensor for detection medium. This probe only use a magnetic field to operational in detection of flaws. A transmission coil is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field. A GMR-coil probe has been used to inspect two different material of calibration block. Experimental results obtained by scanning A GMR-coil probe over Brass calibration block has 10 slots with different depth from 0.5mm to 5mm and mild steel has 8 slots with different depth from 0.5mm to 4mm are presented. The result prove that GMR-coil probe that operated using a magnetic field and sensor more effective on ferromagnetic material.
