Abstract
ABSTRACT In a bid to simultaneously exploit the advantages of Pulsed Eddy Current testing (PEC) and Pulsed Remote-field Eddy Current Testing (PRFEC) for evaluation of buried defects in layered conductors, in this paper the Near- and Remote-field Pulsed Eddy Current integrated testing (NRPEC) alongside an axi-symmetric probe has been proposed. Simulations are conducted to reveal the field characteristics underlying the proposed method and analyse the signal response to hidden flaws. In parallel, an NRPEC system has been built up. Based on the images of near-field and remote-field signal features, a fusion algorithm is proposed to fuse the signal features of near-field and remote-field signals for defect testing with the enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. Results from simulations and experiments indicate that based on the fused signal feature, high-accuracy imaging of hidden defects in a double-layer conductor can be achieved via NRPEC with the improved signal-to-noise ratio.
