What is Eddy Current Testing?
Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is a non-destructive testing method that uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. This advanced technique is widely used in various industries to ensure the integrity and safety of critical components. At Bravura Inspections, we leverage the power of ECT to provide precise, reliable, and efficient inspection services.
How Does Eddy Current Testing Work?
Eddy Current Testing involves inducing electrical currents (eddy currents) in a material through a coil carrying alternating current. These eddy currents generate their magnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic field of the coil. By monitoring the changes in this magnetic field, we can identify surface and near-surface defects such as cracks, corrosion, and conductivity variations.
Benefits of Eddy Current Testing
Non-Destructive Nature
One of the core advantages of ECT is that it leaves the tested material completely intact. It allows for thorough inspections without cutting, drilling, or damaging the component in any way, ideal for in-service testing or when preserving part integrity is essential.
High Sensitivity to Small Cracks and Defects
ECT is highly effective at detecting very small flaws such as fatigue cracks, corrosion pitting, and stress fractures. It’s particularly suitable for inspecting thin-walled tubing, surface coatings, and high-precision aerospace or automotive parts, where even minor imperfections can cause serious issues.
Speed and Efficiency
Versatility
ECT can be used across a wide range of conductive materials, including aluminium, copper, stainless steel, and titanium. It’s suitable for complex geometries, tight access areas, and harsh environments. From heat exchanger tubes to aircraft skins and welds, its versatility makes ECT a preferred solution for a broad spectrum of industries.
