Description

Austenite stainless steel is widely used in power plants and nondestructive damage estimation method is required to determine the damage on the structure due to fatigue or earthquake. Eddy current method is one of the nondestructive inspection technique, and it reflects the surface condition of the metal. Surface roughness of the specimen increased by the deformation and the roughness change is used to estimate the damage by the low cycle fatigue. This report deals with the eddy current signal change due to the surface roughness. Test pieces of SUS316 with 6mm in diameter were prepared, and the surface was ground with emery paper. Eddy current testing was carried out with two types of the probe and testing frequency of 200kHz and 1MHz. Eddy current signal, which is output of the eddy current instrument, were measured. Eddy current signal was changed by surface grinding. Grinding on the surface showed significant effect on the eddy current signal. It is caused by removal of residual stress near the surface of the test piece that induced by the drawing process. Difference in the eddy current signal by the surface roughness within 1μm in Ra is quite small and higher testing frequency is required to distinguish the difference.
