Abstract

An eddy current testing (ECT) system with multi-coil type probes is applied to size up cracks fabricated on austenite stainless plates. We have developed muti-channel ECT system to produce data as digital images. The probes consist of transmit-receive type sensors as elements to classify crack directions, working as two scan direction modes simultaneously. Template matching applied to the ECT images determines regions of interest in sizing up cracks. Finite element based inversion sizes up the crack depth from the measured ECT signal. The present paper demonstrates this approach for fatigue crack and stress corrosion cracking.
