The invention provides a defect detecting device and method based on a pulsed
eddy current array, and relates to the technical field of non-
destructive testing. The defect detecting method comprises the following course that a
signal generator produces a periodic pulse
signal, after being amplified by a power amplification
machine, the periodic pulse
signal is applied to two ends of an exciting coil; a test
coil array unit acquires a
magnetic field signal above a piece to be tested, and transports the
magnetic field signal to a
signal conditioning unit; the
signal conditioning unit is used forperforming filtering and amplifying on the signal, and transporting the treated signal to an A / D converting unit; and finally, the signal is transported to a DSP
data processing module to seek dimension information of defects. According to the defect detecting device disclosed by the invention, clustering treatment and equalizing treatment are performed on detection array data, so that the influence of inclination or lifting-off of the detection
array coil on defect detection is effectively restrained; a structure that a coil is used for exciting, and an array is formed by a plurality of testcoils is adopted, so that the interference of a
magnetic field is reduced, and comprehensive defect information detection is also realized; and the
time domain characteristic quantity and the
frequency domain characteristic quantity are combined, so that the defect detecting accuracy is improved.
