Practice:
Eddy Current Testing (ECT) can be used on electrically conductive material for detecting and characterizing defects such as surface and near surface cracks, gouges, and voids. It can also be used to verify a material's heat treat condition. In addition, wall thickness of thin wall tubing, and thickness of conductive and nonconductive coating on materials can be determined using ECT.
