공통축 형태로 배치된 비자성체 이중관에 있어서 유한요소해석 상용 소프트웨어와 실험적인 방법을 각각 이용하여 원격장 와전류 에너지의 전달 경로를 연구하였다. 연구결과 이중관에 있어서 원격장 와전류 에너지는 두 관 사이의 공간을 따라 흐르는 것이 아니라, 단일 튜브의 경우와 마찬가지로 외측 튜브의 외면을 따라 흐름을 확인하였다. 이는 원격장 와전류 효과의 관벽투과 특성이 이중관에 있어서도 유효함을 보여주는 것이다. 따라서, 중수로형 핵연료 채널과 같은 이중관 형태를 대상으로 내관 및 외관의 내 외부 결함 탐상, gap 분포 및 지지대의 위치 확인 등에 원격장 와전류 방법의 관벽투과 특성이 응용될 수 있음을 보였다.

An experimental study of an eddy current nondestructive testing system to measure dimensions of cylindrical metallic rods, such as cross-sectional area or diameter, is presented. Impedance characteristics of a solenoid sensor, which are generally based on Maxwell's equations in electromagnetic field, are briefly discussed for inspecting geometrical parameters of the coil sensor and testing materials. A measurement system for detecting the diameter of the metallic rod is implemented. This instrument has capabilities for detecting the sensor output signals and estimating demensions of the testing material, continuously. As a result, it was shown that the eddy current sensor with an encircling coil could estimate the diameter of metallic rod. The implemented measurement system gives accurate information for inspecting the dimension of conducting rod with good sensitivity.

연구로인 하나로의 핵연료봉은 제조 시 피복층에 품질 관리 절차에서 규정한 크기 이상의 결함이 없도록 와전류탐상 검사를 하도록 되어 있다. 와전류탐상검사 절차를 수립하기 위하여 외삽 차동형 와전류탐촉자 및 표준시험편을 제작하였다. 임피던스 분석기를 사용하여 제작된 탐촉자에 대한 임피던스값을 측정하여 검사주파수 영역에서 최대감도를 얻도록 제작되었는지를 조사하였고, 이 탐촉자 및 MIZ-40A 와전류탐상기를 사용하여, 요구되는 결함 크기를 검출할 수 있는가를 조사하였다. 그 결과 이 탐촉자를 사용하여 길이 2mm 피복 두께 대비 깊이 10%인 인공 노치를 검출할 수 있었으며, 연구로용 핵연료봉의 제조 시 피복층에 존재하는 결함을 성공적으로 검사할 수 있었다.

The relationship between eddy current response and case hardening depth has been studied on SM40C(KS D-3752) and SCM440(KS D-3711) steels which were surface hardened by high frequency induction hardening. The results obtained in this study were as follows ; 1) Case hardening depth was successfully measured by observing the eddy current impedance changes of each steel. The impedance decreased linearly with increasing case hardening depth. 2) For large impedance gradient between the hardened surface and core metal, the eddy current response was more sensitive to case hardening depth than for low impedance gradient.

The metallurgical transformation ratios of metals have been evaluated by the eddy current method. Eddy current probes have been designed and applied to various standard samples. The equivalent impedance estimated from the eddy current measurement is closely related to the variation of transformation ratios in metals. It has been found that the variation of the impedance is relatively large in the samples where the transformation ratios of the samples are small. Both reactance and resistance increase when the transformation ratio is large. Sensitivities of eddy current test is increased with increasing frequencies and by inserting ferrite core the solenoid eddy probe. Our results have shown the implementation of eddy current measurement to the one-line nondestructive testing of metals.

This paper describes numerical analysis of eddy current testing for tube with axi-symmetric defect using boundary element method. In this ECT(Eddy Current Testing) numerical analysis. BEM and FEM are used to compare their characteristics and results of ECT, respectively BEM is easier than FEM to design geometrically complex domain because in case of BEM, domain is divided into segments or elements, but in case of FEM, domain is divided into small finite triangular or quadrilateral elements. For this reason asymmetry defect is used for this BE numerical analysis. As a result, the similar result can be obtained through both numerical analyses, and BEM can be applied to the numerical analysis of ECT.

An experiment to investigate the rate of change of phase angle of eddy current output signal caused by outer surface defect of nonferromagnetic tube by variation of standard depth of penetration and variation of percent of tube wall penetration was carried out. The results of the experiment show that the phase angle of defect signal is increased with decreasing the standard depth of penetration or the depth of defect. The results also show that the phase angle is decreased with increasing the skin effect of eddy current, and that the resolution is decreased with decreasing the depth of defect.

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the eddy current testing for pipe with axi-symmetric defect according to frequency changes using the finite element method(FEM). The defects used in this analysis are inner and outer axi-symmetric type. In order to obtain the behaviors of the signals by changing the frequency, the defects with different depths are modeled and analyzed using FEM. It is important to choose proper frequency because of the effect of skin depth in eddy current testing. This paper describes signal characteristics of each defects as frequency is changed.

In this paper, characteristic analysis of PC(Pancake Coil) probe with the size variation is presented for eddy current testing. Characteristics of probe are numerically calculated by using the finite element method. From the numerical analysis, the optimum frequency and groups for an experiment are selected. Probes are made and experiment is performed. From the experimental results, the probe shows maximum sensitivity when the size of defect is equal to the size of probe and when the inside diameter is similar to the width of probe and when the height is low. The result can be helpful to the standard of design of PC probe for eddy current testing.

A steam generator (SG) tube is an important component of a nuclear power plant (NPP). It works as a pressure boundary between the primary and secondary systems. The integrity of a SG tube can be assessed by an eddy current test every outage. The eddy current technique(adopting a bobbin probe) is currently the main technique used to assess the integrity of the tubing of a steam generator. An eddy current signal analyst for steam generator tubes continuously analyzes data over a given period of time. However, there are possibilities that the analyst conducting the test may get tired and cause mistakes, such as: missing indications or not being able to separate a true defect signal from one that is more complicated. This error could lead to confusion and an improper interpretation of the signal analysis. In order to avoid these possibilities, many countries of opted for automated analyses. Axial ODSCC (outside diameter stress corrosion cracking) defects on the tubes of OPR1000 steam generators have been found on the tube that are in contract with tube support plates. In this study, automated analysis software called CDS (computer data screening) made by Zetec was used. This paper will discuss the results of introducing an automated analysis system for an axial ODSCC on the tubes of an OPR1000 steam generator.
