Corey offers inline magnetic testing and offline magnetic testing as well as ultrasonic testing.
A cold finished steel bar may require eddy current testing for surface defects when it is destined for certain end uses or when it will be heavily machined in downstream production. Corey can perform that test inline as part of our drawing line process or on our offline machine. Having the ability to test in or offline gives us the flexibility to test material from stock rather than waiting for a full production cycle.
Eddy current testing will not eliminate the responsibility of the customer to assure that the recommended amount of stock is removed in the production of a particular part. Since eddy current testing will not detect all defects, the customer should discuss with us any special requirements or certain types of defect detection required for an order.
We also can test material ultrasonically, which detects gross internal imperfections like inclusions on pipe.
