Abstract
This paper presents a new non-destructive testing (NDT) method using rotational magnetic flux. In conventional eddy current NDT, the magnetic sensor has been driven by dc or alternative current. Therefore. the genarated magnetic field in the magnetic material is arranged in one direction. However, in order to estimate shape or position of an unknown defect, a two-dimensional alternating magnetic flux density vector is necessary. The NDT system using rotational magnetic flux is proposed. In this system, the magnitude and phase value are obtained as the signals of defect.
