In non-destructive eddy current testing of aluminum aircraft skins, an alternating magnetic field from a test coil induces circular electrical currents within the conductive substrate. When an internal fatigue fissure disrupts these circulating flow paths, the local electrical impedance shifts, registering as an amplitude alteration on the technician's display. Because high-frequency electromagnetic fields experience rapid attenuation near the metal surface due to skin effect, lower inspection frequencies must be calibrated to detect deeper structural flaws beneath the outer fuselage layer.
According to the passage, which of the following is true regarding eddy current testing procedures?
- ASudden fluctuations in electrical impedance directly generate internal fatigue fissures across the conductive substrate.
- BHigh-frequency electromagnetic fields are calibrated to detect deeper structural flaws beneath the outer fuselage layer.
- Identifying subsurface structural flaws requires tuning the test equipment to reduced electromagnetic frequencies.Cevap
- DTechnicians must immediately replace the entire aluminum fuselage skin whenever any shift in signal amplitude appears.
Cevap
Identifying subsurface structural flaws requires tuning the test equipment to reduced electromagnetic frequencies.
The passage explicitly notes that because high-frequency signals weaken near the surface, lower frequencies must be calibrated to locate deeper structural defects. The choice stating that finding subsurface flaws requires adjusting the apparatus to reduced electromagnetic frequencies is an accurate semantic paraphrase of this detail.
