Eddy currents enable non-contact inspection of conductive materials, detecting surface and subsurface defects with exceptional precision, while guaranteeing fast, reliable results.
Eddy current testing stands out as one of the most sophisticated and versatile techniques in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT). By generating high-frequency induced currents through a conductive material, this method can accurately reveal anomalies that would be invisible to the naked eye, such as surface cracks, underlying corrosion or even subtle variations in thickness.
One of the great advantages of eddy current is its ability to inspect quickly, without the need for direct contact or intensive surface preparation. This technology excels particularly in the inspection of complex materials, whether turbine blades, aircraft sheet metal or automotive parts. What’s more, it adapts to irregular geometries and hard-to-reach areas, while offering real-time results.
What makes eddy currents truly unique is their ability to provide detailed data not only on the presence of defects, but also on material conductivity, composition and the depth of anomalies detected. This enables engineers to make in-depth diagnoses and anticipate potential structural failures before they become critical.
