Investigation of Array Magnetic Memory Testing Technology on Extension of Metal Crack

Abstract

Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) testing method has its own effective and unique advantages on the research of extension of metal crack. The array magnetic memory testing sensor designed and assembled in accordance with specific conditions, could evidently enhance testing-efficiency, such as for components with complex shape or large surface area, and may simplify the test equipment correspondingly. A kind of array magnetic memory sensor with Hall elements as core components was designed and an experiment on metal magnetic memory testing on extension of metal crack was executed. The experiment results indicate that the magnetic memory testing technique could effectively monitor and qualitatively evaluate the progress of metal crack extension.
