NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF B$sub 10$ SS POISON WIRE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4176014
An investigation was made to determine if an eddy current technique could replace the dye penetrant test required on B/sub 10/ SS poison wire. Artificial and natural defects were evaluated on four types of eddy current equipment. The eddy current tests detected sub-surface voids and surface defects as small as 0.0030 in. deep and 0.0015 in. wide. The results showed that the eddy current test was not so sensitive to shallow surface defects as the dye test; however, the dye test could not detect sub-surface voids. (auth)
