1 Implementation of Transient Eddy Currents from Lab Bench to the Production Environment Jesse A. Skramstad, NDT Solutions, Inc. Robert A Smith, QinetiQ Ltd UK Lt Gary Steffes and Charles Buynak, USAF, AFRL, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate ASIP DECEMBER, 2004
2 What is TRECSCAN? TRECSCAN is a Transient Eddy Current Inspection System Developed by QinetiQ Ltd. (DERA UK) Time Domain Eddy Current Unique Analysis Software that Includes: Edge Subtraction Lift-Off Compensation Total Thickness Measurement Plate Separation Effect Elimination
3 Why Is TRECSCAN Different? TRECSCAN Uses a Hall sensor as a field detector instead of a coil Eddy current pulses are generated using a coil and the Magnetic Field is measured directly using a Hall sensor TRECSCAN measures and captures the complete transient data set
4 What is a Hall Sensor? A Hall sensor is semi conductive platelet, when a small current is passed through it, a Hall voltage is generated by the effect of an external magnetic field acting perpendicularly to the direction of the current.
5 Advantages Of Using Hall Sensors Hall sensors respond to a wide frequency range allowing the capture of detailed transient data sets. Hall sensors provide direct measurement of the magnetic field, essential for the application of analytical theory to the transient data. Hall sensors used as a field detectors rather than coils, improve the spatial resolution and the detectability of deep defects.

7 Transient Eddy-Currents Eddy-current pulses Hall Sensor Drive Coil Depth Time Graphic courtesy QinetiQ
8 Transient Eddy-Current Signal Magnetic field Transient signals from structural changes at different depths Time (ms)
9 Transient Data Storage Time-slices Separate C-scan images can be produced from each time-slice. TRECSCAN stores the transient response at an exponentially distributed sequence of time points. This Time-slice data is saved at each probe position, permitting recreating the scan and post processing of the data after acquisition.

13 Edge Subtraction EDM NOTCHES W/O Edge Subtraction defects under skin splice are difficult to see With Edge Subtraction the skin splice effect is removed and defects can be seen
14 Time-Slice Examples Time-Slices Later in Time Represent Lower Frequencies
15 Defect Depth Measurement Time-To To-Peak 0.31 ms 0.41 ms Measuring the Time to the Peak of a balanced transient can be used to produce simple time-of-flight images, which can be related to depth in the structure.

19 Original TRECSCAN System TRECSCAN was originally developed as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) plug-in for the ANDSCAN software suite. Using the manual ANDSCAN R-Theta scanner it was capable of scanning relatively small areas of structure. TRECSCAN DLL ANDSCAN Software TRECSCAN Interface Box Probe: Hall Sensor Manual Scanner
20 System Integration Objectives Provide large area transient eddy current C-scan data collection capabilities for the production environment Integrate TRECSCAN into the Boeing MAUS IV Automated C-scan system Couple TRECSCAN with the SAIC Ultra Image IV Automated C-scan system
21 TRECSCAN +MAUS INTEGRATION TRECSCAN DLL MAUS SOFTWARE MAUS TRECSCAN BOARD Probe: Hall Sensor Using Familiar MAUS Operator Interface
22 TRECSCAN +MAUS Integration Approach Boeing built TRECSCAN interface board fits into MAUS chassis QinetiQ built TRECSCAN board nests onto MAUS interface board QinetiQ built TRECSCAN auto-sensing PSU fits into MAUS chassis QinetiQ authored TRECSCAN/MAUS DLL MAUS Software calls the TRECSCAN DLL Operator interface looks like MAUS TRECSCAN DLL revisions will not require MAUS software changes

34 Current and Future Plans Work on a thick multi-layer wing structure inspection problem on the B-52 Conduct additional experiments to assess the range of capabilities of the TRECSCAN transient eddy current system Develop aircraft specific inspection procedures to the detect and characterize cracks and corrosion in aluminum aircraft skin/structure, giving special consideration to: Back side of the first layer Top side of the second layer. Back side of the second layer and deeper
35 Conclusions TRECSCAN has several unique capabilities offering great potential, and the capability to be applied to many difficult inspection requirements. Integrating TRECSCAN into the USAF Inventory Automated C-scan Systems Brings Transient Eddy Current to the Production Floor. TRECSCAN will be one more tool in the NDI/NDE Thank TOOLBOX You for Your Time! This is just the Beginning
