3.15 APPLICATIONS<br />

The following list of applications has been broken down into four sections;<br />

general and specific eddy current applications and general and specific flux<br />

leakage applications.<br />

3.15.1 General Eddy Current Applications<br />

General eddy current applications can be further subdivided into applications<br />

involving the measurement of physical property differences, such as flaws<br />

and thickness, applications involving the measurement of parameters relating<br />

more to conductivity, such as hardness, or applications involving the<br />

permeability changes in ferromagnetic parts. These are not clear cut subdivisions<br />

because the physical parameters also affect coil impedance and<br />

material conductivity.<br />

Heat treatment also affects conductivity in non-ferromagnetic parts and<br />

permeability in ferromagnetic parts.<br />
