While evaluating the depth of corrosive defect of the pipe through Remote Field Eddy Current (RFEC) Testing technology, the critical principle of the process is to use the interaction of the magnetic field. Generally, exciter coils in the low-frequency alternating current and detector coils can generate the magnetic field. The signal curve can be transformed by receiving and plotting the induction voltage of detector coils. In addition, the signal curve can be used to identify the existence and the depth of corrosive defect from the shape and angle of the curve. Thus, the structure of the detector has a great influence on the exactitude of the testing. However, in the real experiment, RFEC probe is covered by shell and hard to disassemble. Thus, few people doing the research to analyze the structure of the RFEC probes.
This research is based on two-dimensional axial-symmetry models and using Finite Element Method to simulate different structures or designs, such as the distance between exciter coils and detector coils, the amplitude and frequency of current in exciter coils, and even the material and size of shield. The simulation results show the influences of changing these important characteristics. Therefore, with these scenarios, the RFEC testing technology can be understood more completely and be improved the accuracy and reliability of the experiment by optimizing the sensibility of the RFEC probe.
