Abstract

Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is the constant growth of a crack or fault due to the tensile and corrosive stresses in a given environment. These cracks can potentially progress to sudden and catastrophic failures in metals exposed to tensile stress and corrosive environment. The over-whelming cost and damage caused by Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is an immense amount of cost in many industries considering that SCC happens to produce a spontaneous failure due to overload stress. The topic of stress corrosion cracking has drastically changed the movement and progression of the production of better-quality products and engineering design such as, in manufacturing, aerospace, construction, and many other disciplines. In addition, a nondestructive testing (NDT) method called Phased Array Eddy Current (PAEC) Testing can be used to efficiently detect these small cracks in metals. Frequent Nondestructive Inspections during the lifetime of materials can decrease failures by having precise information and data on SCC detection. Eddy current (EC) is a current and applicable electromagnetic nondestructive testing technique that is heavily used in manufacturing, petrochemical, aerospace, and structural industries for the detection of surface-level, subsurface cracks, and the damage in products made of metallic materials. The advancement in Eddy Current Nondestructive Testing (EC-NDT) provides the effectiveness to electronically drive and read many eddy current sensors positioned inline in the same probe assembly. This action generates a higher signal-to-noise (SNR) value and a more accurate inspection result outcome in a reconstructed image and time-domain signal. Furthermore, This poster will discuss the approach of using phased array eddy current technology to test for stress corrosion cracking at different initial conditions of the cracks, level of applied tensile stresses, and a highly corrosive environment. This substantial technique will decrease the cost of materials and time in designing structures or devices by accurately detecting and identifying the stress corrosion cracking conditions in metallic parts and components. After intensive, detailed testing and trials SCC detection and manufacturing cracks were observed and noted. This technique will lead to meticulous results that show the capability of the ECA current on the metallic testing samples.
