  • Eddy current test system including a member of high permeability material effective to concentrate flux in a very small region of a part
    Patent number: 4659990
    Abstract: An eddy current testing system is disclosed in which a pair of thin one-layer windings are disposed against a pair of thin plates of high permeability magnetic material, about aligned openings in the plates through which a wire is passed, pits and inclusions in the wire being detected by comparing signals corresponding to the electrical impedances on the two windings. The plates of high permeability magnetic material operate to concentrate magnetic flux in small regions of the wire, to obtain a high resolution.
