Background
After the metal surface is corroded or worn, equipment damage, pipeline leakage and product pollution can be caused, so that serious accidents such as combustion or explosion and the like are caused, resources and energy are seriously wasted, and the national economy is greatly lost.
The coating technology is a technology for endowing the material and the surface specific performance of the parts thereof, improving the use value of the material and prolonging the service life of the parts, the uniform thickness of the coating is one of the preconditions that the material has specific protection function, and the life cycle, the bonding strength, the stress condition, the material consumption, the matrix temperature distribution and the like of the coating are directly influenced by the thickness of the coating and the uniformity of the coating. Therefore, the detection and evaluation of the coating layer thickness is of great importance.
The conventional single-frequency eddy current technology is difficult to eliminate interference factors such as conductivity, shape and the like of a substrate in the detection of the thickness of a coating layer. The sweep frequency eddy current detection technology is a method for detecting a conductive test piece by collecting enough eddy current data in a specific frequency band, and the performance of the method is superior to that of the conventional eddy current detection technology in the aspect of analyzing a plurality of parameters. The method is based on the sweep frequency eddy current detection technology, and aims to develop a set of thickness detection modules aiming at a non-conductive coating layer on a conductive substrate. The influence of the conductivity and the thickness of the matrix material in the thickness detection process is eliminated by utilizing the advantages of the multi-parameter analysis of the sweep frequency eddy current technology, so that the measurement accuracy is improved, and the environmental adaptability is improved.
