3.15.2 Specific Eddy Current Applications<br />

Numerous NDT papers and articles have been written on specific eddy<br />

current applications. Many of these articles involve the detection and<br />

measurement of flaws in steering mechanisms, airplane landing gears,<br />

engine parts, reactor and steam generator tubes, aircraft wheels, aircraft wing<br />

structures, condenser pipes, and turbine blades. Other specific applications<br />

are listed below:<br />

1. Determine the installed position of piston rings in motors using the<br />

differential probe technique.<br />

2. Determine the extent of defects on the face of tungsten contact rivets<br />

using a hand-held, rotating probe instrument.<br />

3. Detect missing needle bearing using a hand-held, rotating probe<br />

instrument.<br />
