Abstract..This paper investigates the influence of machining process on eddy current signals of fatigue cracks in low carbon austenite stainless steels. Several fatigue cracks are created using four point bending method. The grinding process on crack mouth after the formation of fatigue crack seals the crack and gives certain amount of conductivity. This phenomenon on fatigue cracks is confirmed through comparison with the numerical simulation of ECT signals. ...

Eddy current testing (ECT) has been widely used for the non-destructive testing of metal structures. ECT has high capability of detecting surface breaking cracks and length sizing in nuclear power plants. However, it is known there is the error in the evaluation of the depth of the crack. Martensitic phase occurs due to the stress of crack in the vicinity of the crack and oxide layer of crack surface can affect the evaluation of crack depth. In this study, we assess the influence that impact these fact...
