Design and experimental study of far field eddy current testing system for welds defects in rail vehicles

The working environment of the rail vehicle is bad, the weld seam area of the car body is prone to defects, and the non-destructive testing of the weld seam of the car body can effectively ensure the safety of driving. In this paper, the far field eddy current detection system for rail vehicle weld defects is designed and developed. The system includes the excitation circuit, signal conditioning module, signal acquisition module hardware circuit and PC software based on LabVIEW. Based on the system, the rail vehicle aluminum is developed. The far field eddy current test of alloy weld and stainless steel weld is tested. The results show that the existence of weld residual height has some interference to the far field eddy current test results. Based on the developed far field eddy current detection system, the aluminum alloy weld is buried. The depth is 3 mm,the size is 10 mm×1 mm×1 mm crack, the stainless steel weld depth is 5 mm, the size is 20 mm×1 mm×2 mm crack detection, and the best detection frequency of aluminum alloy and stainless steel weld is obtained.
