Abstract
Surface breaking defects are detected using a scanning laser source to deposit heat into a sample surface. Any lateral flow of heat is disturbed by such a defect, with a change in thermal spot shape being detected by an infrared camera. An apparent increase in temperature as the laser passes over a defect is due to a localised change in emissivity, allowing defects to be distinguished from surface markings. Defects have been detected in both stainless steel and aluminium.
