Eddy current inspection method

摘要

A specimen is mounted in a multiaxis machine. An eddy current probe is also mounted in the machine for multiaxis movement relative to the specimen. The probe is aligned in situ with a target in the specimen by direct contact therebetween at multiple alignment sites corresponding with a numerical model of the specimen. Eddy current inspection of the target may then be conducted by moving the probe along multiple inspection sites of the target corresponding with the specimen model.
