Seam defect detection on HCS wire

$15.00

The author describes recent advances in the use of rotating eddy current probe assemblies for the in-line inspection of HCS wire and rod. Digital processing at high rotational speeds permits real-time analysis and categorization of seam type defects by their location, length and depth. Developments in probe technology and automatic gap compensation significantly enhance performance.
