Eddy Current testing is used extensively by our aircraft inspection department during planned maintenance programmes as well as unscheduled tasks called up by the many airline operators we provide support to. In addition eddy currents can be equally applied very successfully to other industries.
The Eddy Current (EC) process uses electromagnetic induction for the purpose of detecting defects in electrically conductive materials, which are either surface breaking or slightly sub-surface. A major benefit of the testing method is that it can be applied to coated/painted surfaces which have generally received minimum preparation.
The test equipment is lightweight, fully portable and, in the hands of our skilled and highly experienced technicians, can provide immediate test results for instant review by our clients. The scope of Eddy Current inspection systems include low frequency and high frequency test probes for the inspection of accessible surfaces as well as a range of rotary (dynamic) probes which are designed and utilised for the detection of cracks in such things as fastener bore holes which would otherwise be extremely difficult to inspect.
Whilst the Eddy Current inspection system is primarily used to detect the presence of very small cracks and corrosion pits it can also be used effectively when conductivity testing and/or coating thickness measuring is required.
