What Can Eddy Current Testing Do for Me?

This versatile tool can be used to solve or prevent material with property issues from leaving a munufacturing facility.
Dean A. Isbell
October 15, 2021
Since the development of eddy current testing in the early to mid-1900s this method has been used to detect defects and properties of many types of metals. The most common applications are testing tubular products for transverse defects, testing bar or wire products for longitudinal surface defects, and testing parts for defects and properties such as hardness.
