QCL NY provides Eddy-Current Testing (ECT) as part of our Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services to detect surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials. Eddy-current testing is a fast and effective inspection method commonly used for evaluating metal components, weld areas, tubing, and structural elements where surface integrity and quality assurance are required.
Our inspectors support construction and industrial projects with accurate testing, documentation, and compliance-focused reporting across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Eddy-Current Testing is an NDT method that uses electromagnetic induction. A probe generates a changing magnetic field that creates circulating electrical currents (eddy currents) in the material being tested. If there are defects such as cracks or thinning, the eddy-current flow changes—allowing inspectors to detect issues without damaging the component.
ECT is best for detecting:
Surface cracks
Near-surface defects
Corrosion/metal loss (thinning)
Material property variations (depending on method)
QCL NY provides Eddy-Current Testing for a variety of inspection needs, including:
Surface cracking in metal components
Fatigue cracks and discontinuities
Inspection of critical areas where early crack detection is important
Evaluation of weld edges and adjacent areas
Detection of near-surface flaws after welding or repairs
Early detection of wall thinning
Quality verification for metallic components exposed to harsh environments
Eddy-current testing offers strong advantages for certain inspection scopes:
Fast inspection method
Detects surface and near-surface flaws
Minimal surface preparation required (in many cases)
Works well on complex-shaped metal parts
Non-destructive and reliable for quality control programs
