6 Characteristics To Know While Using Eddy Current Measuring Techniques

  Eddy current is a type of electric current that moves quickly in a circular motion, often producing a downward spiraling action in bodies that conduct electricity and heat. Since these actions remind one of a whirlpools in a small, narrow river, hence their name. Commercial enterprises mostly use non-destructive approaches to evaluate metals. Eddy current testing is a popular non-destructive method to check electrically conductive goods. It is good to know the characteristics of Eddy current testing, if you want to use it to evaluate the materials or samples non-destructively. 1-    Analyse metals without physical contact When determining the electrical conductivity in a metal, learn that analysis with eddy currents does not involve any physical contact between the metal specimen and the sensor. 2-    Can identify cracks The interplay between a magnetic field source and a metal specimen is what introduces eddy current in the metal sample. When researchers observe change
