PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Janousek, Ladislav AU - Marek, Tomas AU - Gombarska, Daniela TI - Eddy Current Non-Destructive Evaluation of Conductive Materials DP - 2006 Mar 31 TA - Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina PG - 29--33 VI - 8 IP - 1 AID - 10.26552/com.C.2006.1.29-33 IS - 13354205 AB - Non-destructive methods of material properties evaluation are presented in the paper. The methods are useful especially for increasing the safety of sophisticated and environment threatening facilities and, consequently, for decreasing the operating expenditures of those facilities. The attention is paid mainly to the method that utilises eddy currents induced in the surface layer of conducting samples by means of a small flat coil. The eddy current testing method is theoretically described and results of its particular application are presented in the paper.
