Abstract: Non-destructive testing (NDT) of thin-walled parts is being considered. This technique is based on registration of changes in thermal fields created by sources on internal defects of the material. Mathematical model calculating surface temperatures of the part in each time-step has been built. The deduced system has been transformed into matrix format by the finite elements method. Solution has been found by the finite difference method. Actual tests has been conducted registering changes in surface temperature of the plate with symmetrical and asymmetrical internal source position. The model has been fine-tuned based on comparison of actual tests’ results with numerical calculations.

Abstract: The dependences of the surface eddy current probe added voltage at the interaction of the probe magnetic field with an aluminum pipe from the following main interference factors are determined: the pipe wall thickness, the gap between the probe and the surface of the pipe, the electrical conductivity of the material, the curvature of the pipe wall, the presence of areas with a smooth thickness change of the wedge character and a local spherical thinning, axis misalignment with respect to the pipe surface, the lateral misalignment of the probe axis. The problem is solved with the help of the finite element method (FEM). These data are consistent with the experimental results.

Abstract: This article deals with studying the technology of electric arc spraying of the eccentric body by selection of the copper-steel pseudo-alloy for spraying a covering. The part durability with the placed covering depends on the technology of spraying and the properties of the sprayed material. By increasing the strength of adhesion of the covering to the base it is possible to establish the optimal indicators of the coating mode. It became the main criterion of studying the arc spraying technology from the mathematical point of view.
