Influence of Geometrical Features of Material Defects on the Identification Level by the Eddy Current Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article presents the results of the influence of geometrical features of defects in materials on the level of identification by the eddy current method. The study involved the inner ring of the tapered roller bearing. Four test defects, located at a constant distance from the inner surface, and a subsurface marker defect were performed in the treadmill of the tested ring. The test defects had a constant cross-sectional area in a perpendicular direction to the surface of the eddy current head. The geometrical features of each defect were the following: shape, the perimeter of the defect projected onto the surface of the ring, and the width and height of the defect projected on the face of the measuring head. The study involved an inner surface (subsurface defect detection) and external surface (the study of surface defects). It has been shown that the shape of the defect affects the level of detection using the eddy current method.
