Aircraft maintenance technicians seek simplified, portable, fast aviation eddy current testing
2018-10-15
In aircraft maintenance and repair, eddy current devices have long been used to nondestructively test (NDT) wheels, struts, propellers, airframes, hubs, engine components, and other parts for flaws, such as cracks, fatigue, or corrosion in a variety of metals, including aluminum and steel alloys. Multiple eddy current test instruments are traditionally used to address the full scope of work, which can involve inspecting surfaces, welds, tubing, and bolt holes.
