Abstract
Due to uneven surface and lift-off effect, it is difficult to detect weld crack by eddy-current testing. A new orthogonal eddy-current probe for weld crack detection of carbon-steel plate was designed in this paper. Based on COMSOL Multiphysics, the influence of scanning angle on detection sensitivity of the probe was compared firstly. Then, the effects of coil width, coil side length, detection coil height, and lift-off distance on detection sensitivity of the probe were studied, respectively. Finally, the test piece of carbon-steel plate weld with crack, and the physical probe used to verify the crack detection effect were made. The experimental results show that the weld crack of carbon-steel plate with length × width × depth of 20.0 mm × 0.3 mm × 1 mm can be effectively identified, and the lift-off noise can be effectively suppressed by the method presented in this paper. At the same time, the signal-to-noise ratio of the probe keeps constant in the lift-off distance range of 0.3 mm–3.0 mm.
