- 235 - EDDY CURRENT INSPECTI<strong>ON</strong> OF MILDLY FERROMAGNETIC TUBING (U.R. Mayo, J.R. Cantan. Atomic Enzigy o {, Canada Chalk Rivzn, Ontatii.o ABSTRACT The past decade has seen the development of eddy current probes for inspection of the mildly ferromagnetic alloy Monel 400. Due to the rapid advances in permanent magnet technology similar probes have been upgraded to magnetically saturate, and hence inspect, the duplex stainless steel Sandvik 3RE6O, which has saturation induction more than twice that of Monel 400. Prototypes of these probes have been tested in three ways: saturation capability, quality of typical eddy current data, and ability to eliminate permeability induced signals. Successful laboratory testing, potential applications, and limitations of these type probes are discussed.
1. INTRODUCTI<strong>ON</strong> - 236 - In-service eddy current testing (ET) of heat exchanger tubing is often complicated by the use of magnetic materials such as nickel-copper alloys, austenitlc-ferritic stainless steels, and mild carbon steel. Since many factors must be considered when a choice of tubing material is made for a particular unit, including initial cost and resistance to deterioration, inspectability is often of secondary importance. For this reason the alloys Monel 400* and Sandvik 3RE60** are encountered as examples in the nuclear industry, and mild carbon steel is used extensively throughout industry in general. It is commonly known that magnetic materials can only be inspected by ET once they have been magnetically saturated[l]. This condition can easily be met during manufacturing testing, but places a severe restriction upon in-service inspection, where usually only the tube ID is accessible. We may non-rigorously define materials as being mildly ferromagnetic if they have saturation induction less than 1 tesla. This puts the alloys Monel 400 and 3RE60 in the mild class. Carbon steel, on the other hand, is highly ferromagnetic, having saturation induction over 2 tesla. A considerable amount of ET development work in the Canadian nuclear industry has been directed toward saturation probes for inspection of mild magnetic materials. This was largely due to the use of Monel 400 in the Pickering Generating Station heat exchangers. Probes to inspect Monel 400 tubing have seen successful use in the field, and recently we have succeeded in developing probes for 19 mm 3RE60 tubing, which is more difficult to saturate. The ability to inspect 3RE60 tubing is very likely the highest level to which probes of this type, using high energy-product permanent magnets, can be elevated. Highly ferromagnetic mild carbon steel will require some new approach and is currently the subject of laboratory investigation. This paper presents data obtained from a prototype probe suitable for inspection of 19 mm 3RE60 heat exchanger tubing. Impedance monitoring shows the magnetic tubing is fully saturated by the probe. Comparison of 3RE60 signals (eddy current impedance plane display) to those from a nonmagnetic 316 stainless steel tube of the same dimensions also demonstrates complete saturation. Finally, stress induced permeability variation signals effectively "dissappear", as would be expected at full saturation. The results indicate 3RE60 tubing of this size is now inspectable (with limitations), representing a further advancement in the in-service inspection of ferromagnetic materials. * Reg. trademark of International Nickel Co. ** Reg. trademark of Sandvik Tubular Prod.
