Eddy Current Method
The excitation current of the measurement
probe generates a high-frequency primary
magnetic field that induces Eddy currents
in the substrate material. The resultant
secondary magnetic field weakens the
primary field. This effect is a measure for the distance (= coating thickness) between the probe and the substrate material, and is converted to a coating thickness value using a probe characteristic that is stored in the instrument.
Applications
• Paint varnish or plastic coatings on nonferrous metals, e.g., aluminum or stainless steel
• Anodized coatings on aluminum
