NDE blade inspection in less time and with more accuracy

摘要

Eddy current (EC) probe technology for nondestructive examination (NDE) is evolving away from traditional coil configuration toward sensors thatcan provide large EC field coverage. Siemens and its EC probe vendor UniWest have developed designswhere one single probe fully covers surfaces with complicated geometries such as gas turbine disk slots and has highest crack detection resolution. hat will significantly reduce machine outage times and costs for on-site EC inspections.
