概要

The present study discusses electromagnetic characteristics of modeling thermal fatigue crack in numerical simulation from view point of eddy current testing. Two thermal fatigue cracks introduced into SUS304 stainless steel plates are investigated. Eddy current signals are gathered by a differential plus point probe with several frequencies, 50 kHz, 100 kHz and 400 kHz. In the numerical simulation thermal fatigue crack is modeled as a region with constant width, true profile revealed by results of destructive testing, and uniform conductivity firstly. Further simulations are carried out to consider the possibility of variation of electromagnetic characteristics around the edge of crack. The results show that thermal fatigue cracks should be modeled as an almost nonconductive region no matter how the frequency is utilized.
