The invention relates to the technical field of
nondestructive testing, in particular to a method and a
system for detecting
corrosion of a
metal component in a soil medium based on pulsed
eddy current, which are characterized in that background
eddy current loss parameters of soil are quantitatively calculated by establishing an
eddy current field
distribution model in the soil medium; then,
physical mapping characteristics such as derivative zero-crossing time and eddy current loss characteristic values are extracted from a detection coil
signal on the basis, and a quantitative mapping relation between the
physical mapping characteristics and the
metal conductivity is established; and finally, fusing the physical characteristics and waveform transformation characteristics extracted from the signals, and inverting through a neural
network model to obtain geometric parameters such as depth, length and the like of the
corrosion defect. According to the method, soil interference is quantified through modeling, and targeted compensation and fusion are performed on the soil interference in
feature extraction and inversion, so that the defects that a traditional pulsed eddy
current technology is low in
signal-to-
noise ratio and cannot perform quantitative evaluation in a soil medium are fundamentally overcome, and rapid, non-excavation and high-precision quantitative detection on the
corrosion state of the buried
metal component is realized.
