Title:
EDDY CURRENT EXAMINATION METHOD AND EDDY CURRENT EXAMINATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013170869
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an eddy current examination method capable of measuring a flaw in a device under test with high precision by eddy current examination and an eddy current examination device.

An eddy current examination method includes a synchronous process (S3, 4) and a magnetic field detection process (S5). In the synchronous process, the phase of an excitation voltage that coil drive means applies onto an exciting coil for generating an eddy current in a device under test and the phase of a drive voltage whose frequency is higher than the excitation voltage and that element driving means applies onto a magnetic impedance effect element for detecting a change in a magnetic field generated in the exciting coil are made to be synchronized. In the magnetic field detection process, a change in a magnetic field generated in the exciting coil caused by an eddy current generated in the device under test is detected by the magnetic impedance effect element.
