What can Eddy Current Testing detect?

Eddy Current Testing can detect surface and near-surface cracks, corrosion, material thickness variations, coating thickness, and changes in material conductivity or permeability.

What industries use Eddy Current Inspection?

Eddy Current Inspection is widely used in aerospace, oil and gas, power generation, automotive, rail, and manufacturing industries for detecting flaws in heat exchangers, tubing, aircraft components, and welds.
