Abstract
Using the example of nonmagnetic metallic materials, the projection methods of multidimensional analysis of multifrequency eddy-current testing measurement data presented for processing are considered. Based on the principal components method, the effects of electrical conductivity and sensor–material-surface gap on the results of testing have been separated. Using regression on principal components, the numerical values of the electrical conductivity and gap for manganese, copper, bronze, aluminum, and an aluminum alloy have been obtained. The results make it possible to extend the possibilities of nondestructive eddy-current evaluation of materials.
