Pulsed Eddy Current Inspection (PEC)
Pulsed Eddy Current Inspection (PEC) leverages electromagnetic principles to detect subsurface flaws in conductive materials.
By inducing transient eddy currents using a pulsed magnetic field, this method measures the response from the material, which is altered by the presence of flaws or variations in conductivity. PEC is adept at identifying corrosion, cracks, and other material discontinuities, even under insulated or coated surfaces, making it an invaluable tool in industries where maintaining material integrity is crucial. The technique’s non-contact nature and depth of penetration provide a distinct advantage in evaluating the integrity of structures and components in a non-invasive yet effective manner.
