摘要
Three-dimensional finite element (FE) modeling of remote field eddy current (RFEC) technique has been performed to detect localized defects in ferromagnetic steam generator tubes. The excitation frequency, intercoil spacing, and the design of localized receiver coil have been optimized using this model. Amplitude and phase of RFEC signals of radial and axial receiver coils have been predicted for a through hole and two flat bottom holes (FBH). The detection sensitivity of the receiver coils has been compared, and the model has been validated for a few cases.
