Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Eddy current testing, as an important technique in the field of nondestructive testing, is widely used in industrial scenarios such as aerospace and rail transportation. With the continuous increase in material processing speed, the limitations of traditional eddy current testing, which relies on fixed-frequency excitation, are becoming increasingly apparent. Especially under high-speed motion conditions of 2-50 m / s, the dynamic matching requirement between the excitation frequency and the sample velocity significantly exacerbates the skin effect. Among related technologies, motional eddy current testing has been proposed. It utilizes the relative motion between a static magnetic field and a conductive sample to generate eddy currents, making it suitable for high-speed testing.
[0003] However, existing research on motional eddy current testing mainly focuses on defect detection, and the theoretical relationship between the equivalent frequency generated by the testing method and the skin depth is not yet clear, leading to an inability to accurately estimate material parameters. Traditional eddy current testing relies on frequency scanning to decouple parameters, but the equivalent relationship between velocity and frequency in motional eddy current testing lacks a systematic model, limiting its industrial applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a skin depth acquisition method based on equivalent frequency to expand the applicability of motional eddy current testing. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Further, in step 2, based on the theoretical model, the relationship between probe velocity and equivalent frequency is derived, wherein the equivalent frequency... f eq The formula is Where v is the probe velocity, L eff The effective length of the magnetic field; In step 2, the effective length of the magnetic field L eff Defined as the distance between two main peaks in the spatial distribution of the static magnetic field, which is 12.5 mm.
[0028] Further, in step 3, the skin depth is obtained based on the equivalent frequency, using the following formula: , where μ is the magnetic permeability and σ is the electrical conductivity; Further, in step 4, a velocity-dependent correction term is introduced, which is based on the magnetic Reynolds number transition point. The corrected skin depth formula is as follows: , where v0 is the transition velocity.
[0029] In step 4, the transition velocity v0 is determined by the magnetic Reynolds number. Get, when R m When approximately 1 hour, , where the feature length L R The value is 6.25 mm, and the transition velocity v0 is 3 m / s.

[0031] This invention proposes a method for obtaining equivalent frequency and skin depth based on motional eddy current detection. By using an equivalent frequency model, the velocity parameters of motional eddy current detection are transformed into frequency domain information, simplifying the acquisition of skin depth. The correction term considers the magnetic Reynolds number transition point, improving the acquisition accuracy under low-speed conditions. The method is applicable to high-speed environments, providing theoretical support for online detection. It is suitable for rapid production processes of thin sheet materials and can be widely applied in the field of non-destructive testing of defects in thin sheet materials.
