T1 - Flux leakage measurements for defect characterization using NDT adapted GMR sensors T2 - Electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation (XIV) N2 - High-precision magnetic field sensors are of increasing interest in non destructive testing (NDT). In particular GMR-sensors (giant magneto resistance) are qualified because of their high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio and high spatial resolution. We performed magnetic flux leakage measurements of artificial cracks with a GMR-gradiometer and a 3-axes GMR-magnetometer. Cracks of a depth of 44 μm still could be detected with a sufficient high signal-to-noise ratio. A semi-analytic magnetic dipole model was used for swiftly predicting magnetic stray fields. The reliable reconstruction based on measurements of artificial rectangular-shaped defects is demonstrated.
