Abstract
An eddy current testing method based on the use of an exciting signal of special shape is proposed. Subsequent digital processing the detected output signal enables calculation of the measuring sensor parameters at different frequencies and construction of an experimental hodograph of the sensor-test object system. Experiments performed for materials with different physical and geometrical characteristics of hodograph construction have shown that the proposed method provides a reliable separation of the main factors affecting the results of multi-frequency eddy current measurement. The results can be used in automated systems for diagnostics and non-destructive testing of materials and products.
