Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing, in particular to a method for detecting an eddy current caused by movement based on a magneto-optical effect.

Background

The metal strip is widely applied in the industrial field, but is influenced by the production process, and the metal strip can have defects during production, so that potential safety hazards are brought to subsequent use. The eddy current testing method is a new nondestructive testing method proposed in recent years, and a testing probe of the method is composed of a permanent magnet and a magnetic field sensor, can be installed in a production line of metal strips, and is used for testing defects such as cracks in the metal strips. When the metal strip passes under the probe at a high speed, relative motion between the permanent magnets and the metal material causes a moving eddy current to form in the metal strip. According to biotival's law, the eddy currents form a secondary magnetic field. When defects are present in the metal strip, disturbances are created to the eddy currents, thereby affecting the secondary magnetic field. The eddy current disturbance field is picked up by the magnetic field sensor, and the defect can be detected and evaluated.

According to published literature, the magnetic field sensors used in the eddy current test are classified into an absolute type and a relative type. Absolute sensors include giant magnetoresistive sensors (GMR) and hall sensors, which have high sensitivity but a small linear operating range, and are easily out of the linear operating range due to the strong magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet. The coil is not affected by the linear working range, but the sensitivity is relatively low, and the detection of the tiny defects is difficult to complete. Therefore, the magnetic field detection method in the motional eddy current inspection method is yet to be further improved.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of examples.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the motional eddy current testing apparatus includes: a magnet 5, a laser 6, a polarizer 7, a magneto-optical sheet 8, an analyzer 9 and a CCD sensor 10.

Both the polarizer 7 and the analyzer 9 are polarizers.

On a metal strip production line, an aluminum blank 1 to be rolled is cold-rolled and shaped after passing through a rolling mill 2 to form a rolled aluminum strip 3. Under the tension of the coiler 4, the aluminium strip 3 is wound around the coiler 4 as a raw material to be delivered.

The invention provides a magneto-optical effect based motional eddy current detection method which can be used for detecting whether defects exist in a rolled aluminum strip or not. Before use, the analyzer 9 is adjusted while the magnet 5 is away from the magneto-optical sheet 8. Laser generated by the laser 6 passes through the polarizer 7 to form linearly polarized light, is reflected by the magneto-optical sheet aluminum film, passes through the analyzer 9 and is received by the CCD sensor 10. The angle of the analyzer 9 is adjusted to make the polarization direction of the analyzer the same as that of the linearly polarized light, and the light intensity collected by the CCD reaches the maximum value I₀。

On the production line, the aluminum strip has a certain moving speed v, and when the aluminum strip passes below the magnet 5, electrons in the aluminum strip move under the action of Lorentz force F ═ ev × B, so that the aluminum strip is shapedGenerating a vortex. As shown in fig. 2, the motional eddy current 11 is annular and is concentrated below the magnet 5. As shown in fig. 3, the motional eddy currents 11 generate a secondary magnetic field 12 according to biotival's law. Magnetic induction B in magneto-optical sheet 8₁Is the superposition of the magnetic field 12 and the magnetic field of the magnet.

According to the Faraday magneto-optical effect, after linearly polarized light irradiates a magneto-optical sheet, the polarization angle changes when the linearly polarized light passes through a magneto-optical material, the rotation angle theta is VBL, wherein V is the Verdet constant of the magneto-optical sheet and represents the magneto-optical property of a substance, B is the magnetic field value in the magneto-optical sheet, and L is the thickness of the magneto-optical sheet. The laser light is reflected after meeting the aluminum film at the bottom of the magneto-optical sheet and passes through the magneto-optical material above the laser light again. Magnetic induction B in magneto-optical sheet 8₁The polarization angle of the laser light is changed to theta₁＝2VB₁L, the laser intensity collected by the CCD sensor becomes I₁＝I₀×cos²(θ₁)。

When the detected metal strip has defects, the motional eddy current is distorted, and the magnetic field is correspondingly changed, and the effect is shown in fig. 5. At this time, the magnetic induction of the magnetic field in the magneto-optical sheet 8 becomes B₂＝B₁+ Δ B. Accordingly, the linearly polarized light is reflected by the magneto-optical sheet 8 and the polarization angle becomes θ₂＝2V(B₁+ Δ B) L, the light intensity collected by the CCD becomes I₂＝I₀×cos²(θ₂). And detecting the defects in the detected metal strip according to the light intensity change.
