What is Eddy Current Testing (ET)?



Eddy Current Testing (ET) is one of the non-destructive testing methods which is used to inspect surface and near-surface discontinuities in conductive materials. This testing method is widely used in industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, oil & gas and more. Eddy Current testing has many benefits such as

  • Ability to detect very small discontinuities on surface and near-surface

  • No need to remove coatings

  • Able to inspect parts with complex geometries

  • Can cover a large area of inspection in one scan

  • No need to clean the parts after inspection

Eddy current testing (ET) can be used to inspect both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials. There are many types of defects that ET can used to find the defects including:

  • Crack

  • Corrosion

  • Wear

  • Lack of fusion

  • Pitting

  • Wall loss
