GMR Sensor Arrays for High-Spatial Resolution Measurements in NDT-Applications
- Magneto resistive (MR) sensors are suited for a wide range of different applications. Especially due to their small sizes and their frequency-independent behaviour, they are eligible candidates for non-destructive testing methods where high spatial resolution is required. The use of specialized magnetic field probes enables not only a defect evaluation, but also a localized characterization of ferromagnetic materials. This paper presents some NDT (non-destructive testing) examples concerning magnetic flux leakage applications (MFL) and eddy current testing (ET). For MFL-testing we used an NDT-adapted GMR (Giant MR) sensor array for the detection of small inclusions in thin steel sheets. We also investigated the effects of microstructure on magnetic properties using GMR sensors. The ET-example describes an MR array probe consisting of 32 MR-elements, an ASIC, subsequent readout components and a one-wire excitation to generate eddy currents inside the material (developed in theMagneto resistive (MR) sensors are suited for a wide range of different applications.

Using this MR-probe we achieved results with a better spatial resolved defect detection of neighbouring boreholes compared to “conventional” ET-probes.…
