Factors Affecting Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection of Tailor-Welded Blanks
The development of a laboratory-based tailor-welded blank (TWB) inspection system using the principles of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is presented. The effects of variations in inspection system operating parameters are quantified to allow for optimized system performance. The parameters examined include the applied magnetic field strength, inspection scanning velocity, spatial resolution of acquired signals, specimen end effects, and pole piece liftoff. The results indicate that this inspection method is relatively insensitive to operating parameters and is therefore robust.
