About Eddy Current

Eddy current is a Non Destructive Testing method for the inspection of discontinuities located on or near the surface of articles. It uses electrical currents generated in a conductive material by an induced magnetic field to detect imperfections or changes in properties within a material.  Eddy Currents can be very sensitive to small discontinuities and has many applications in modern industry. Types of applications which this can be used with are inspections of welds and aerospace materials as well as conductivity sorting of materials.
