Example Embodiment

[0029] The principle diagram of the detection method of the present invention is as follows figure 1 As shown, the measured component 1 is covered with a coating layer 2 with a thickness of H, and the coating layer 2 is wrapped with a magnetically conductive protective layer 3 with a thickness of h. The upper end of the permanent magnet 4 is adsorbed on the left and right ends of the yoke 7, and the polarities of the magnets at both ends are perpendicular to the measured component 1 and opposite. The lower end of the permanent magnet 4 is adsorbed (or lifted a certain distance) on the magnetic protective layer 3. The permanent magnet 4 , The yoke 7 and the magnetic protective layer 3 form a closed magnetic path, magnetize the magnetic protective layer 3 to deep saturation or deep saturation, reduce the permeability of the magnetic protective layer material, and increase the penetration depth of the eddy current. The attenuation of the eddy current on the magnetic conductive protective layer 3 is reduced, so that more eddy current energy acts on the measured component 1. A square wave excitation is applied to the sensor excitation coil 6 to induce eddy currents in the measured component 1. The thickness of the measured component 1 is measured by observing the attenuation curve of the induced voltage in the sensor detection coil 5, so as to realize the conductivity of the measured component 1.

When the magnetic protective layer is not magnetized, the magnetic field distribution in the measured component is as follows figure 2 As shown, the magnetic field distribution in the measured component is as follows when the magnetic protective layer is magnetized to deep saturation image 3 As shown, the comparison shows that magnetizing the magnetically conductive protective layer 3 to deep saturation significantly increases the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the excitation coil 6 in the measured component 1, that is, reduces the attenuation of the eddy current on the magnetically conductive protective layer 3.

The signal processing circuit 10 amplifies and filters the obtained signal, and transmits it to the A/D conversion circuit 11. The A/D conversion circuit 11 converts the received analog signal into a digital signal and sends it to the portable computer 12 for processing. The portable computer 12 realizes the functions of signal acquisition and control, signal display and data storage, processes the received data, discriminates signal characteristics, and obtains corrosion information of the tested component 1.

[0033] The realization of the magnetization unit in the pulse eddy current sensor is not limited to the above two, it can also be combined with a magnet and a coil, or change the position of the magnetization unit, as long as a closed magnetic path can be formed between the magnetization unit and the measured component.
[0034] Figure 7 In order to use the device of the present invention to test the sample diagram, the sample is a stepped Q235 steel plate with a length of 1000 mm and a width of 500 mm. The thickness of the area ① is 20 mm, and the thickness of the area ② is 18 mm.

The vertical axis represents the induced voltage (V), and the horizontal axis represents the time (ms ). The initial parts of the two curves are straight lines and almost overlap each other, and then respectively transition to curve segments with different curvatures. The curve of area ② is located below the curve of area ①, that is, the thinner the measured area, the faster the induced voltage decays. The steeper.

The axis represents induced voltage (V), and the horizontal axis represents time (ms). Due to the influence of the tinplate on the eddy current signal, the shape of the two curves is lost Figure 8 The characteristics of the middle curve, and the signal-to-noise ratio becomes worse.
[0037] Picture 10 In order to use the present invention to detect the signal waveforms of the sample area ① and area ② with the tinplate protective layer (the tinplate thickness h=0.5mm) and the rock wool coating layer (the rock wool thickness H=120mm), the vertical axis represents the induced voltage (V), the horizontal axis represents time (ms).
