Eddy current testing plays an important role in numerous industries, particularly in material
coating, nuclear and oil and gas. However, the eddy current testing technique still needs to …

Friction stir welding (FSW) is in existence for well over three decades. Started primarily with
the joining of aluminium alloys, FSW is gradually engaged for other alloys and also …

This paper describes how magnetoresistive materials can be optimized and integrated in
magnetic field sensor devices. Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) and tunnel magnetoresistive …

Magnetic sensors based on tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect exhibit high
sensitivity, small size, and low power consumption. They have gained a lot of attention and …

The orientation of the induced eddy currents is an important parameter for eddy currents
testing probes used in Non-destructive Testing (NDT). In general, the eddy currents …

As a solid-state welding process, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) offers a variety of advantages
over traditional welding processes. Problems that are typically occurring due to the cooling …

This paper discloses two high-sensitivity probes for Eddy Current Nondestructive Test (NDT)
of buried and surface defects. These probes incorporate eight and 32 magnetoresistive …

In recent years additive manufacturing technologies have become widely popular. For
complex functional components or low volume production of workpieces, laser powder bed …

The rising popularity of additive manufacturing processes leads to an increased interest in
possibilities and methods for related process monitoring. Such methods ensure improved …

Defects in welds always undermine the reliability of the overall structure, potentially causing
serious structural failures. Electromagnetic and eddy current testing (ECT) are widely used …
