Alternating current field measurement can be used for the inspection of<br />

nonferromagnetic materials but is less effective in this role. The effective<br />

depth of penetration in nonferritic materials with alternating current field<br />

measurement is dramatically reduced. This is in sharp contrast to standard<br />

eddy current philosophy. It should also be noted that volumetric<br />

discontinuities, such as corrosion pitting or porosity, give much weaker<br />

signals than planar discontinuities, so it is not recommended that alternating<br />

current field measurement be used in this role.<br />
