Flexible eddy-current coil and coil array for nondestructive testing

摘要

An array of flexible coils (50) on a flexible substrate (52) can be flexed to conform to the geometry of the surface undergoing test. Photoresist masking and etching techniques are employed to fabricate the electrically conductive coil array on the surface of the substrate (52). A large array of coils (50) is readily fabricated using batch fabrication techniques.
