Abstract: A method of inspecting a preselected area of an electrically conductive component to determine whether flaws are present. The method includes the steps of permanently mounting an eddy current element on the component over the preselected area and energizing the element to generate alternating magnetic fields proximate the component. An electrical signal generated by a secondary magnetic field formed proximate the component is detected using the element and the detected electrical signal is compared to a reference signal to determine whether the detected signal is different than the reference signal. Differences indicate the presence of a flaw in the component. Inspection apparatus for performing this method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system for ultrasonically inspecting turbine wheels and other disk-shaped articles having a central opening and multiple secondary openings radially spaced outward from the central opening. At least one ultrasonic transducer is placed in at least one of the secondary openings of the wheel. The transducer is configured and oriented to perform a pulse-echo diagnostic technique on the wheel by emitting ultrasonic signals that intersect radials of the wheel at angles of approximately ninety degrees to the radials. The ultrasonic signals intersect the radials at points so that a plurality of points are located on a plurality of radials. The points define a locus of points through the volume of the wheel between the central opening and the secondary opening, such that the volume is inspected for defects. The transducer receives ultrasonic signals that are reflected from one or more points when a defect is encountered.

Abstract: An omnidirectional eddy current probe includes a number of sense coils arranged in a stack having a principal axis. At least two of the sense coils are rotationally skewed about the principal axis relative to one another. The sense coils are operatively connected to each other and a drive coil is also positioned in the stack. An impulse through the drive coil induces a magnetic influx through a conducting material specimen having a surface, thereby generating eddy currents on the surface. Secondary magnetic field generated from the eddy currents produces corresponding signals in the sense coils, and the signals are then analyzed for the possibility of surface flaw in the conducting material.
