摘要
This paper proposes the use of a new type of eddy current transducer - the inner eddy current transducer with rotating magnetic field that it was experimented to defect the discontinuities in un-irradiated pressure tubes, as well as to determine the position and lilt of garter springs. This transducer was used to determine the hydrides present zones and of delayed hydride cracking, the zones in which ZrO2 is present and the thickness of oxide layers.
