Benefits of GMR sensors adapted for NDT applications
- Main concept of magnetism and, therefore, of magnetic imaging can be subdivided into different levels, macroscopic, magnetic domain, and atomic. While conventional sensor solutions cover only the macroscopic level, the spatial resolution of GMR (Giant Magneto Resistance) sensors go down to the domain scale. In addition, those low cost sensors are well suited for automotive and industrial applications, particularly high-speed solutions. Main reason is their outstanding performance in terms of high spatial resolution, high accuracy, high bandwidth combined with field sensitivity, energy efficiency and durability. In contrast to industrial use, down to the present day GMR sensors do not get beyond scientific scope in case of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. Nevertheless, there are scientific and industrial NDT applications in which adapted GMR sensor can be promising compared to the conventional NDT methods. This contribution summarizes findings at the BAM over the lastMain concept of magnetism and, therefore, of magnetic imaging can be subdivided into different levels, macroscopic, magnetic domain, and atomic.

Nevertheless, there are scientific and industrial NDT applications in which adapted GMR sensor can be promising compared to the conventional NDT methods. This contribution summarizes findings at the BAM over the last decade which demonstrates the preeminent properties of GMR-based testing solutions. This comprises the active and passive testing of different materials with hidden defects and flaws near geometric boundaries like edges where conventional methods meet their limits. Another promising application for adapted GMR sensors is the characterization of magnetic materials, where the sensors provide additional information on microstructure, mechanical stress state, phase transformations and their interaction with magnetic fields. The examples show the need and benefit of NDT adapted GMR sensors.…
