Abstract

The performance of a SQUID NDE probe with integrated planar SQUID gradiometers was compared to that with an electronic axial SQUID gradiometer. A circular excitation coil was used for the SQUID NDE probe with the planar gradiometer, whereas a differential excitation coil was adopted for the one with the axial gradiometer. These NDE systems are used to detect a buried flaw in aluminum plates, and the phase-depth relations of the buried flaw were found to show similar linear dependences. Overall, the SQUID NDE system with the planar gradiometer is relatively simple and practical for unshielded operations.
