<strong>Eddy</strong> <strong>Current</strong>s A closed loop alternating current flow induced in a conductor by<br />

a varying magnetic field.<br />

<strong>Eddy</strong> <strong>Current</strong> Method An electromagnetic NDT method based on the process<br />

of inducing electrical currents into a conductive material and observing the<br />

interaction between the currents and the material.<br />

<strong>Eddy</strong>-current <strong>Testing</strong> A non destructive testing method in which eddy-current<br />

flow is induced in the test object. Changes in the flow caused by variations in the<br />

specimen are reflected into a nearby coil or coils for subsequent analysis by<br />

suitable instrumentation and techniques.<br />

Edge Effect Signal obtained when a surface probe approaches the sample’s<br />

edge or geometric boundaries that makes it impractical to apply electromagnetic<br />

test methods to the associated regions of the sample..<br />

Effective Depth of Penetration EDP Depth at which eddy current density drops<br />

off to 5% of the surface density.<br />
