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 destruc...

Investigation on electromagnetic characteristics numerical simulation by eddy current testing

Abstract. This study discusses a suitable numerical modeling of a thermal fatigue crack from the viewpoint of eddy current testing. Five artificial thermal fatigue cracks, introduced into type 304L austenitic stainless steel plates with a thickness of 25 mm, are prepared; and eddy current inspections are carried out to gather signals using an absolute type pancake probe and a differential type plus point probe. Finite element simulations are then carried out to evaluate a proper numerical model of the...

Numerical modeling of thermal fatigue cracks from the viewpoint of eddy current testing

This study reports the results of nondestructive testing and evaluation of artificial thermal fati gue cracks using direct current potential drop method. ?ix artificial thermal fatigue cracks, intro duced into type 304L austenitic stainless steel plates with a thickness of 25mm, are prepared; and potential drops across the cracks are measured using a direct current source of approximately 80A. The specimens are then served to destructive tests to reveal the true profiles of the cracks. Fini te element simu...
