In power engineering, components subjected to high stress are used in various applications, and it is essential to prevent defects in these components. In addition to turbine construction, this is als...

Induction and Conduction Thermography: Optimizing the Electromagnetic Excitation Towards Application

Article:
AIP Conference Proceedings 03/2009; 1096:518
DOI: 10.1063/1.3114299
Publisher: AIP

Active thermography, using electromagnetic excitation, allows detecting defects like cracks which distort the flow of current in the component under examination. Like other thermography techniques it ...

Mechanisms and Models for Crack Detection with Induction Thermography

Article:
AIP Conference Proceedings 02/2008; 975:475-482
DOI: 10.1063/1.2902698
Publisher: AIP

Induction thermography is a non-contacting, non-destructive evaluation method with a wide range of applications. A deeper understanding of the detectability of cracks requires fundamental knowledge ab...
