Study on the Signal Processing Methods of the Eddy Current Testing on the Steel Ball Surface Defects

Abstract:

In the detection of steel ball surface defects, the non-destructive eddy current testing has the advantage of reliability, high efficiency, non-contact and easy to automate, etc. Base on the establishment of the mathematical model of the ball surface unfolding, Correct processing of eddy current sensor output signal is the first conditions of accuracy. In the paper, base on the propose of unfolding mechanism of the ball's surface, with smooth, phase-sensitive detection, filtering and other methods to process the detected signal, so interference signals can be suppressed and to improve the signal to noise ratio; Then the signal can be further analyzed in time domain or frequency domain, the signal amplitude, frequency, phase and other characteristic quantities can be extracted, and the characteristic quantity of defect signal can be Calculated, So the surface quality of steel balls can be determined.
