NDT – Few Other Methods
Here are some rarely used NDT – Few Other Methods 1. Eddy Current Testing – ET: Eddy-current inspection uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. A circular coil carrying current is placed in proximity to the test specimen (electrically conductive). The alternating current in…
