Eddy current testing is a non-destructive testing technique used to evaluate the electrical conductivity and integrity of conductive materials by inducing eddy currents within them. This method relies on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field generates circulating currents (eddy currents) in the material being tested. It’s commonly used in various fields for detecting surface and near-surface flaws, measuring thickness, and assessing material properties.
