Proceedings of the Eddy Current Nondestructive Testing Workshop gathers the key papers from the National Bureau of Standards event held in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in November 1977.
The collection offers a historical overview of eddy current nondestructive testing and surveys its current applications and challenges.
This edition brings together discussions on how eddy current testing is used across industries, including primary metals, and highlights the evolution of methods, instrumentation, and interpretation of results. It provides context for the field and outlines the state of the art as of the late 1970s.
- Historical perspective on the development of eddy current nondestructive testing
- Applications and limitations across different industries, with emphasis on primary metals
- Discourse on instrumentation, interpretation, and performance considerations
- Context for ongoing research and future directions in eddy current testing
Ideal for researchers, engineers, and practitioners seeking a concise snapshot of eddy current nondestructive testing as of the late 1970s, with both foundational context and practical insights.
