METHOD FOR COMPENSATION OF RESPONSES FROM EDDY CURRENT PROBES

摘要

A method of inspecting a component using an eddy current array probe (ECAP) is provided. The method includes scanning a surface of the component with the ECAP, collecting, with the ECAP, a plurality of partial defect responses, transferring the plurality of partial defect responses to a processor, modeling the plurality of partial defect responses as mathematical functions based on at least one of a configuration of elements of the ECAP and a resolution of the elements, and producing a single maximum defect response from the plurality of partial defect responses.
