Application of Automatic Non-contact Electrical Conductivity Scanning Technique in Characterization of Rolled Aluminum Plates used in Aerospace Applications

The use of eddy current techniques for the measurement of electrical conductivity has long been a major test requirement for rolled aluminum plates destined for aerospace applications. The major reason for conductivity testing is to detect “soft spots” that may occur as a result of improper heat treatment or macro-segregations initiated during casting process.
