Eddy Current Testing
Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is a versatile non-destructive testing method used for flaw detection, material and coating thickness measurement, material identification, and assessing heat treatment conditions.
This technique relies on the principles of electromagnetism, where an AC current in a coil generates a changing magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the conductive test material. Variations in these eddy currents, caused by flaws or material changes, are detected and analyzed. ECT provides a detailed assessment of material integrity, ensuring components meet quality and safety standards without causing damage.
