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...
