The Use of Eddy Current for Ferritic Weld Testing in Nuclear Power Plants

摘要

This article discusses the development and use of manual eddy current weld testing as a high quality and cost saving NDT method to supplement load and visual testing of nuclear fuel transfer casks in accordance with ANSI N14.6 (American National Standards Institute, 1993). It also discusses the histories of magnetic particle and eddy current weld testing leading up to this application.
