Title: Experimental results in eddy current nondestructive testing based on superconductive and conventional electromagnetic probes

Journal Article · · International Journal of Modern Physics B

This paper deals with the electromagnetic nondestructive testing performed by SQUID magnetometry on stratified aluminum alloy plates as those commonly encountered in the aircraft industry. The anomalous magnetic fields generated by flaws wit h known electromagnetic characteristics have been modeled by a three-dimensional specific code based on a finite element formulation. The numerical solution has correctly predicted the shape of the complicated magnetic field response due to the defect. Once accuracy and reliability of experimental data taken by superconductive probe have been tested, a benchmark-like problem has been faced. Measurements performed by conventional probes like fluxgate and inductive coil have been compared with the ones taken by innovative device based on superconductive materials.
