Title: Eddy-current transducer based on flat spiral coils

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Nondestr. Test. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5821135

The article deals with the experimental investigation of flat-coil eddy current transducers with spiral windings. It is shown that it is possible to use them for detecting discontinuities on electrically conducting products with different configuration of the surface. The instrument is described. The use of crossed flat coils makes it possible effectively to detect flaws in electrically conducting products of any shape. A transducer containing crossed flat coils helps, in addition to detecting flaws, in evaluating anisotropy (magnetic and mechanical) from which conclusions as to the physicomechanical properties of the product can be drawn.
