摘要
An enhanced EMAT probe and coil construction takes advantage of heat transfer and magnetic flux principles to permit inspection of workpieces at elevated temperatures of 1200° F. and higher. A ferromagnetic, cup-shaped probe assembly having an end cap and a barrel is provided for carrying a coil assembly, preferably one or more permanent magnets, and a frustoconical focus core. The magnets are located within the barrel and connected to the end cap, and the cup- shaped probe assembly positions the coil assembly proximate the surface of the workpiece. A plurality of passageways may be provided in the end cap and barrel for admitting cooling air to an interior portion of the cup-shaped probe assembly. The cup-shaped probe assembly serves to provide a return path for magnetic flux of the magnetic field back to the permanent magnet means. The coil assembly has a coil disk having a matrix of holes and grooves which allow at least one eddy current coil wire to be threaded and interwoven into the coil disk without shorting against itself. A layer of fiberglass cloth covers the coil assembly to thermally and electronically insulate it from the workpiece, providing a durable, rugged and economical construction.
