Summary of Practice4.1 Examination is performed by passing the rod lengthw

The electrical impedance of the coil is affected byrod vibrations, rod dimensions, electrical conductivity of therod material, and metallurgical or mechanical discontinuities inthe rod surface. During passage of the rod, the c

Significance and Use5.1 Eddy-current examination is a nondestructive method oflocating s

11、urface discontinuities in a product. Signals can beproduced by discontinuities located on the surface of the rod.Since the density of eddy-currents decreases nearly exponen-tially as the distance from the surface increases, deep-seateddefects may be undetected.5.2 Some indications obtained by this p

For example, a signal may becaused by minute flaws or irregularities, by anomalies in thematerial, or by other factors such as operator error, or acombination thereof, that are not detrimental to the end use ofthe product.

The applicableedition of Practice E 543 shall be specified in the contractualagreement.7. Apparatus7.1 Electronic Apparatus, ca

20、pable of energizing the test coilwith alternating currents of suitable frequencies (for example,in the range from 1 kHz to 1 MHz), and capable of sensing thechanges in the electrical impedance of the coils. Electricalsignals produced in this manner are processed so as to actuatean audio, electrical,

21、 or visual signaling device or mechanicalmarker that produces a record.7.2 Test Coils, capable of inducing currents in the rod andsensing changes in the electrical characteristics of the rod. Thetest coil diameter should be selected to yield the largestpractical fill factor.7.3 Driving MechanismA me

22、chanical means shall be usedfor passing the standardization rod through the test coil withminimum vibration of the test coil or rod. The device shallmaintain the rod substantially concentric with the electricalcenter of the test coil. A constant speed (65.0 % of the actualrod speed) shall be maintai

23、ned.8. Standards8.1 Artificial Discontinuity Standard:8.1.1 The standardization rod used when adjusting thesensitivity setting of the apparatus shall be selected from atypical production run and shall be representative of thepurchasers order. Furthermore, it shall be processed subse-quently into a m

24、echanically shaved or machined condition. Therods shall be passed through the test coil with the instrumentsensitivity set high enough to determine the nominal back-ground noise inherent in the rods. Any standard used shall beselected from rods exhibiting low background noise.8.1.2 The artificial di

25、scontinuities shall be spaced to providesignal resolution adequate for interpretation. These artificialdiscontinuities shall be prepared with a hole drilled radiallyinto the rod in each of three successive transverse planes at 0,120, and 240, and one round bottom transverse notch on therod surface a

26、t 120 (Fig. 1).8.1.2.1 Drilled HolesThe holes shall be drilled radiallywith No. 72 drill into the rod using a suitable drill jig that hasa bushing to guide the drill, with care being taken to avoiddistortion or mechanical damage of the rod while drilling. Thediameter of the drilled hole shall be 0.0

27、25 in. 0.635 mm andshall not vary by more than 60.001 in. 60.025 mm. Thedepth shall be 0.075 in. 1.90 mm and shall not vary more than60.003 in. 60.076 mm.8.1.2.2 Round Bottom Transverse Notch The notch shallbe made using a suitable jig with a 0.250-in. 6.35-mmdiameter No. 4 cut, straight, round file

28、. The rod surface shall bestroked in a substantially straight line perpendicular to itslongitudinal axis. The notch depth shall be 0.010 in. 0.25 mmand shall not vary from the prescribed depth by more than60.001 in. 60.025 mm when measured at the center of thenotch.8.1.2.3 The straightness of the ro

29、d should not vary morethan 60.015 in. 60.38 mm over a 12-in. 305-mm length.8.1.2.4 Diameter variations between the standardization rodand any other replacements should not vary more than 60.015in. 60.38 mm of the diameter of the rod being replaced, thatis, between 1.1 and 6 % variation.8.1.2.5 Other

30、 Artificial Discontinuities Discontinuities ofother contours may be used in the standardization rod bymutual agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.NOTE 1A suggested length is 2 in. 51 mm. However, this space should be sufficient to provide signal resolution adequate for interpretation. Th

31、espeed of the standardization rod through the test coil is not critical, but a range from 5 to 150 ft/min is recommended.FIG. 1 Standards With Three Holes and One NotchE 1606 99 (2004)e128.1.2.6 Electrical discharge machinery (EDM) can be usedas an alternative to drilling holes or filing the notch,

32、but thesame dimension tolerances must be adapted.8.2 Other StandardsOther standards may be used bymutual agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.58.2.1 Artificial discontinuities are not intended to be repre-sentative of natural discontinuities or produce a direct relation-ship between inst

33、rument response and discontinuity severity;they are intended only for establishing sensitivity levels asoutlined in Section 9. The relationship between instrumentresponse and discontinuity size, shape, and location is impor-tant and should be established separately, particularly as relatedto test fr

34、equency.9. Adjustment and Standardization of ApparatusSensitivity9.1 The rod manufacturer shall select equipment, standards,and test parameters consistent for the product, unless otherwiseagreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.9.2 When using the artificial discontinuity standard, adj

35、ustthe apparatus to the lowest sensitivity required to detect all fourdiscontinuities. The rod speed maintained during standardiza-tion by the driving mechanism should be any value up toapproximately 500 ft/min 152 m/min, 6 5 % of the selectedspeed.6A constant rod speed shall be maintained during th

36、eadjustment process.9.3 Sensitivity control settings are usually indicated byarbitrary numbers on the control panel of the testing instru-ments. These numerical settings differ among instruments ofdifferent types. It is therefore not proper to transfer numericalsettings on one instrument to those of

37、 another instrument.Sensitivity control settings may vary even among instrumentsof the same design and from the same manufacturer. Undueemphasis on the numerical value of sensitivity control settingsis not justified and shall not be used.9.4 Discard and replace the rod used as the standard whenerron

38、eous signals are produced from mechanical, metallurgi-cal, or other damage to the standard.10. Procedure10.1 Place the standardization rod in the driving mecha-nism, and center it in the test coil at the start of the run. The rodmanufacturer may use the artificial discontinuity standard orprepare a

39、separate rod for this purpose in accordance with 8.1and 8.2. Pass the rod through the system and adjust its positionmechanically in the test coil such that the requirements of 9.2are satisfied.10.2 Standardize the system at the start of the run andwhenever improper functioning of the system is suspe

Keywords11.1 copper redraw rod; eddy-current examination; eddy-current testing; electromagnetic examination; electromagnetictesting; standards5Any copper-zinc-lead alloy (leaded brasses) may also be used as a referencestandard. These materials have significantly lower elect

41、rical conductivity valuescompared with tough-pitch or oxygen-free copper and therefore, have a conductivityvalue at room temperature that is comparable to that of copper rod at elevatedtemperature.6In actual production, throughput speed of the rod oftentimes exceeds this value.However, most eddy-cur

42、rent instruments are speed sensitive and require a filteradjustment based on rod speed. This type of equipment produces variations in signalresponse with variations in test speed. Speed-insensitive equipment provides aconstant signal response with changing test speeds.E 1606 99 (2004)e13APPENDIX(Non
