D1.3 - Real-Time Microstructure Characterization using Eddy Current-based Soft Sensors

Abstract

Non-destructive testing methods enable not only quality assurance but also material characterization. This is often done in offline application or as an intermediate step, in-line applications in close integration with manufacturing processes are more complex. By using a model integrated into a soft sensor on top of eddy current impedance measurement, we show that it is possible to obtain useful material data using comparatively simple sensor hardware in real time.
