Detection Probability Improvement for Nondestructive Evaluation using a Magnetic Camera

摘要

It is important to estimate the intensity distribution of a magnetic field as a possible magnetic method in an industrial nondestructive evaluation application. A magnetic camera provides the distribution of a quantitative magnetic field with homogeneous lift-off and same spatial resolution. Magnetic flux leakage near a crack on the specimen can be amplified by using a 3-dimensional magnetic fluid, that is to say a magnetic lens. This study introduces the experimental consideration of the effects of magnetic lenses for concentrating of magnetic flux. The experimental results showed that the magnetic fluid has a sufficient lens effect for magnetic camera and effect of improvement in probability of detection.
