| Application -
Detection of surface defects in metallic components, cracks, pits,
corrosion, changes in heat treatment, and conductivity.
Eddy current systems can also be used to measure conductivity and can
be used for determining fire damaged areas.
Automated systems for the examination of aircraft wheels are not
uncommon in aerospace environments. |
