The aerospace industry has become increasingly reliant on carbon fibre composite (CFC) as a structural component in aircraft, due to his strength to weight ratio. One of the disadvantages of CFC are their vulnerability to impact damage and external environment changes during flight, which causes barely visible damage to the structure. One solution to this is structural health monitoring (SHM), which monitors the composite structure to provide early detection for damage. Previous work has found that magnetostriction ribbons used as sensors have good resolution to detect damage but are time consuming to attach to the composite surface [1]. To solve this issue, research has focused on additive layer manufacturing to produce 3D printed sensors, which can be directly attached to the surface of the composite. To evaluate the magnetic performance of the 3D printed sensors, this project focused on the design and development of 3D printed magnetostrictive materials using computer simulations in parallel with experimental research to measure the magnetic and mechanical performance.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The design of the magnetostrictive sensors was simulated using COMSOL multiphysics, to determine how design parameters such as thickness, track length and gap changed the magnetic response with and without applied force. A desktop bound metal deposition printer at the Royce Translational Centre, was then used to print the metal with a polymer binder (polypropylene) to create the chosen 3D structures (Fig 1). The magnetic material chosen for this work was stainless steel 17/4ph. The initial work assessed the current performance of the printer at each stage. The designed structure goes through two stages of printing and heat treatment processes. The development of the feedstock to the heat treated structure could affect the final performance of the magnetostrictive material. For example, after printing the printed part (green body) goes through a debinder and a sintering stage which ultimately changes the microstructure and allows grain growth, which could affect the saturation magnetisation magnitude and direction.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Using a MPMS3-SQUID magnetometer, in-plane magnetisation hysteresis loops were measured of different track lengths taken from structures at the different processing stages (green body and sintering). The results show that there is an increase in saturation magnetisation from green body to sintered sample. The sintered sample showed isotropic magnetisation within the track while the green body showed an anisotropic magnetisation. This may be due to the homogenous grain growth.&lt;br/&gt;To evaluate the grid design performance as a strain sensor, a weight was applied to the sintered structure and the change in magnetic flux density was measured. The COMSOL simulations were used to validate the results by using the in-built magnetostriction module. Both simulations and experimental works show comparable results (Fig 2). Demonstrating the larger the track gap the larger the response to an applied force.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Future work will explore a range of printable magnetostrictive materials such as nickel and magnetite. The work will explore different designs based on COMSOL simulations including mechanical and magnetic performance.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Acknowledgements: We wish to acknowledge the Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials, funded through EPSRC grants EP/R00661X/1, EP/S019367/1, EP/P02470X/1 and EP/P025285/1, for the financial support and the Desktop Metal Studio+ system and MPMS3-SQUID access at The University of Sheffield.

Nowadays，the detection of the ultra-weak magnetic fields (&lt; 1 mOe) in micro- or nano-scope (&lt; 100 nm) is a hot research field. The magnetic sensor based on the principle of anisotropic magnetoresistance effect is attractive in the application of detecting the ultra-weak magnetic field in a contactless manner [1]. In this paper, a sensitive, 2-axis magnetic sensor based on anisotropic thin-film structure is proposed and fabricated. As the sensor’s induction layer, the anisotropic films of permalloy Ni (80%) Fe (20%) with different thicknesses (20 nm and 50 nm) are deposited by means of magnetron sputtering [2]. Seed layer under NiFe layer is used to control the grain size in the NiFe layer, which is an important parameter for magnetoresistance. In order to obtain the NiFe layer with good performance, tantalum is deposited as the seed layer, making the NiFe layer with &lt;111&gt; crystallographic texture with suitable grain size [3]. Figure 1 shows the schematic structure of the designed sensor for the ultra-weak magnetic field detection. The characterizations are conducted on the prepared layer, including surface roughness by atomic force microscope (AFM) and the crystalline structure by X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to the test results of AFM, it is found that the film with a thickness of 20 nm has a smoother surface with an average roughness of 1.985 nm, which is less than that of the film with a thickness of 50 nm with an average roughness of 3.005 nm. With the difference of surface roughness, the coercivity of the two thickness films is also different, and it ultimately has an effect on the film properties. Figure 2 shows the characterization results of the surface roughness of the deposited NiFe thin film. Based on the characterized results, the magnetoresistance related to the anisotropic effect is demonstrated and analyzed. The influence of the thickness of the anisotropic film on the characteristics of the magnetization and the dynamic range of the sensors, as well as the range of the magnetic field sensitivity is studied and analyzed in the paper [4]. The deposited film with 20 nm thickness shows obvious anisotropy with low coercivity, resulting in high sensitivity and outstanding detecting ability in the weak magnetic field.

 A Sensitive, 2-Axis Magnetic Sensor Based on Anisotropic Magnetoresistance Effect

There are many different ways and methods for measuring displacement. The influence of the magnetic material on the inductance of the inductor in its vicinity has been well investigated and used for the realization of various sensors, as well as displacement sensors [1, 2]. However, it has been shown that an improvement in the inductance of the inductor can be achieved if the grooves are realized on the surface of the magnetic film [3], which gives the great potential for the realization of magnetic sensors with better characteristics. With advances in development of materials in recent years, 3D printing technology allows a very fast fabrication of prototypes. It can be used for development of electronic components, sensors and actuators. It is a very simple, high-quality and precise way to create complex geometric structures using different materials which enable the realization of sensors of different characteristics. This paper presents a wireless magnetic displacement sensor realized in heterogeneous integration technology. The sensor is realized using additive 3D printing technology and magnetic disc with improved design. The wireless measurement method enables simpler and more precise measurement and data collection compared to the classic wired method. The exploded 3D model of the sensor is shown in the Fig. 1. The proposed sensor consists of three parts: the inductor, the sensor’s casing with spacer and the ferrite disk with grooves. The inductor windings are turned downwards towards the ferrite. The inductor is realized in Printed Circuit Board Technology, in the form of a spiral with an outer diameter of 25 mm and 22 turns (the width of the conducting lines is 500 μm and the conductor spacing is 730 μm). Using the Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 powder, the ferrite disc with grooves is pressed and sintered at a temperature of 1275 °C for 2 hours in a chamber furnace. The ferrite disc has a diameter of 25 mm. It has three concentric rings and a circle in the center on its surface. The part of the sensor that allows the sensor to be sensitive to displacement is the spacer. The spacer is printed using a 3D technology. It was made of Ninjaflex, one of the leading flexible 3D filaments. It is in the shape of the ring with the thickness of 500 µm. Using a Polylactic acid (PLA) filament, the sensor’s housing is 3D printed in which the sensor parts are connected and fixed. The applicator of displacement that acts on the surface of the sensor is also 3D printed. Displacement measurement is performed wirelessly using an impedance analyzer HP4194A. A coil (antenna) is placed around the sensor and the impedance and the phase of the antenna-sensor system are measured, from which the resonant frequency is determined. The displacement operation on the sensor is performed using a manual translation stage which enables the precise movement of the sensor surface in the steps of 50 μm. The characteristic of the antenna-sensor is shown in the Fig. 2. During the action of the displacement, the spacer is compressed and the ferrite approaches the inductor, which causes an increase in inductance, i.e. a decrease in the resonant frequency of the antenna-sensor system.

 Heterogonous Integrated Displacement Sensor with Grooved Ferrite

1. INTRODUCTION The non-destructive testing technology is appropriate to inspect high-priced product because it can inspect while maintaining the shape of the structure. And as the structure of the inspection body becomes complex and diversified with the development of the industrial society, the demand for non-destructive inspection is increasing mainly in developed countries. These techniques investigate structures of inspection by detecting energy deformation caused by the defects or constitution of products using specific physical energy to the target. Depending on the type of energy used for investigation, non-destructive testing is divided into technologies such as magnetic-particle testing, eddy-current testing, ultrasonic testing, radiation transmission testing, liquid-penetration testing and is applied to a wide range of application such as automobiles, nuclear power, steel structures, and pipelines [1]. Oil and gas pipes are mostly buried underground, so it is necessary to regularly manage corrosion or internal defects in pipes. Non-destructive testing is mainly used for safe long-distance transportation of oil and gas, among which Eddy-Current Testing (ECT), which does not have direct contact with the test object, is widely used. In ECT, operating frequencies have a significant impact on detecting faults. Traditional ECT mostly operates within the frequency range of a few kHz to MHz [2]. When the following high frequencies applied at the structure of the inspection, there is some difficulty to detect defects under pipe because eddy current does not flow to the bottom of the pipe due to the skin effect. In order to compensate for these limitations, the industry recently started to use the Magnetic Eddy Current technique that combines the principle of eddy current testing and magnetic flux leakage testing. The principle of this technology is based on the change in the pipe permeability due to defects by applying a certain amount of magnetic flux to the pipe using a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. In this technique, the magnetic flux used here does not need to go to the saturation point like MFL. In general, the magnetic field size required for MFL is at least 10 KA/m, but in MEC, a magnetic field of 3 KA/m is sufficient [3]. In the MEC technique, the value of magnetization level applied to the structure of the inspection has a significant influence on the defect determination performance. If the magnetic field is too small, it is impossible to determine the defects on the outer part of the pipe, and if the magnetic field is too large, defects of various sizes cannot be distinguished. Therefore, it is important to properly apply magnetic flux to the pipe so that defects can be found with high resolution in a given driving condition and the defect position can be distinguished. However, it has not been long since MEC technology has been introduced and researched, so there are insufficient papers on what driving conditions the sensor should operate under for optimal defect detection performance. For this reason, in this paper, a study was conducted to compare the defect detection performance according to the applied magnetic field point and to find the optimal applied magnetic field under a given driving condition. In order to analyze the distribution of the magnetic field around the defect according to the applied magnetic field value, a 3D model is set as shown in Fig.1-(a) and analyzed using 3D FEM. The defect underneath the pipe increases the density of magnetic flux in the pipe, thereby the permeability of pipe decreases and the impedance of the coil changes accordingly to generate a defect signal. The thickness of the defect used in the simulation is fixed at 1.5mm, which is 30% of the pipe thickness, and the diameter of the defect is fixed at 20mm. The value of magnetic field applied within the pipe was changed by changing the current value using an electromagnet. Fig.1-(b) show the respective magnetic field point of the pipe when 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A current is applied to the electromagnet coil. When a current of 1A is passed, it is difficult to determine the defects outside the pipe due to the large permeability value, and at 3A and 4A, the magnetic field applied to the pipe reaches almost saturation and the magnetic permeability is close to 1, making it inappropriate for detection of various size of defects. However, at 2A, it has a permeability, which is the middle value of the previous values, so it can detect various size of defects. Thus, using MEC techniques allows optimal defect detection performance at lower magnetic flux than MFL. In order to compare the defect detection performance in a real situation according to the applied magnetic field value, a prototype was made as shown in Fig.2-(a) and the experiments were conducted to verify compare to the simulated values. As shown in Fig.2-(b_Above), a specimen with artificial defects was produced and an actual MEC driving experiment was conducted. The specimens consist of defects of 10%, 30%, and 50% depth of the pipe thickness, where the solid line represents the external defect of the pipe and the dotted line represents the internal defect of the pipe. And defects werer detected by using coils as shown in Fig.2-(b_Below). The setting and procedures of experiments and the discussion of the results will be covered in the manuscript.

 Selection of Applied Magnetic Field for Optimal Detectability in Eddy Current Testing with DC bias

Tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) sensors can easily be used for magnetic sensing due to high sensitivity, small size, and low power consumption. [1] They also have extremely short response times and are suitable for precise sensing applications. The magnetic hysteresis in the sensing layer of TMR sensors usually has a negative effect on the linearity and reversibility of the sensors. Therefore, reduced magnetic hysteresis, as well as low power and low noise, is favored in low magnetic field measurement. Previous research has shown that the magnetic hysteresis in TMR sensors can be reduced using AC modulation magnetic fields. [2] In this study, a much smaller AC modulation amplitude is used for lower overall power consumption of TMR sensors and the linear response range of the sensors under a small modulation field is investigated. The magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack in the studied TMR sensor was designed as Si/150 SiO2/ 1.5 Ta/25 Ru/7 Ir20Mn80 / 2.2 Co30Fe70 /0.85 Ru/ 2.8 Co40Fe40B20/ 2 MgO /1.3 Co40Fe40B20 / 0.6 MgO/ 50 Co40Fe40B20 /2 Ta/15 Ru (in nm). The TMR ratio is about 180 % and the coercivity of the free layer is about 0.5 mT after magnetic annealing at 340 oC for 2 hour. The MTJs were connected into a Wheatstone bridge to form a sensor. An alternating current driven modulation coil was added surrounding the TMR sensor during magnetic field measurement with the AC modulation field applied along the sensing direction. The DC voltage output of the TMR sensor with different measurement conditions is shown in Fig. 1. The sensor was powered by a 1.5 Volt battery and a sinusoidal modulation field was applied with a frequency of 1 kHz and an amplitude of 0.3 mT. The output voltage of the sensor was measured in these DC magnetic field ranges: (a) -3 mT to 3 mT, marked in black in the figure, (b) -1.8 mT to 1.8 mT, marked in green, (c) -0.6 mT to 0.6 mT, marked in blue, and (d) -0.1 mT to 0.1 mT, marked in red. The figure shows that magnetic hysteresis in TMR sensor was effectively reduced if measured in a small range of DC magnetic field. With the amplitude of AC modulation field being as small as 0.3 mT, the sensor exhibits a linear response in the range of -0.6 mT to 0.6 mT, where the sensitivity is 20.6%/mT. It’s demonstrated that based on a simple construction, TMR sensors with small AC modulation fields can be used for low field sensing with good linearity.

 A study of hysteresis reduction of small AC magnetic field modulated tunneling magnetoresistive sensor

Introduction Induction hardening treatment is used for a variety of steels because of its short hardening time and ability to hardened steel with complex shapes. In this research, the non-destructive inspection method for the hardened depth in surface of the induction hardened steel plate by an electromagnetic sensor is investigated. The hardened depth in surface of the steel plate is measured by detecting the difference in the permeability and the conductivity between the hardened and the non-hardened layers inside the steel plate by the electromagnetic sensor [1,2]. On the other hand, the detection signal in the electromagnetic sensor is also affected by the changing in the distance (Lo: Lift-off) between the surface of the induction hardened steel plate and the sensor. Therefore, the method for simultaneously measuring the surface hardened depth in the hardened steel plate and the lift-off is proposed. The model and the evaluation method Fig.1 shows the 1/2 region of the proposal inspection model for detecting the surface hardened depth in the surface hardened steel plate of SCM440 steel material. The proposal electromagnetic sensor is consisted of an electromagnetic yoke made of laminated silicon steel plate, an alternating excitation coil, and two types of detection coils. The z-direction of the flux density (Bz) inside the magnetic yoke is detected by the z-direction detection coil on one leg of the yoke, and the x-direction magnetic field distributed (Bx) between the two legs of the yoke is detected by the x-direction detection coil. Since the permeability and conductivity in the hardened layer are lower than that of the non-hardened layer, the flux density in the x- and z- direction of these detection coils is changed when the hardened depth is changed. However, even if the depth of the hardened layer is constant, their detected magnetic flux in these detection coils is changed when the lift-off is changed. Therefore, both the lift-off and the surface hardened depth are estimated by the Bx and Bz. 3-D electromagnetic FEM considering the nonlinearity of magnetic properties The flux density and eddy current inside the surface hardened steel plate are calculated by 3-D nonlinear finite element method (FEM) taking account of the initial magnetization curve and conductivity of the hardened and non-hardened layers in the steel. In an induction hardened steel plate, there is an intermediate layer called a heat-affected zone between the hardened and non-hardened layers. Therefore, in this analysis, the initial magnetization curves and conductivity inside the intermediate layer are calculated by linear interpolation of the initial magnetization curves and conductivity of the hardened and non-hardened layers. Measurements results and estimates Fig.2 shows the obtained values of Bx and Bz in the two detection coils when the hardened depth (D) and Lo are changed, respectively. This figure denotes that if Lo is constant, Bx is increased and Bz is decreased when D is increased. This is, because the flux density Bz inside the magnetic yoke is decreased, and the Bx distributed between both feet of the yoke is increased, since the permeability and conductivity in surface domain of the steel plate is decreased when the D is increased. On the other hand, if D is constant, Bx is increased and Bz is decreased when Lo is increased. This is, because the flux density Bz in the closed magnetic path between the sensor and the steel plate is reduced when the Lo is increased, and the magnetic flux Bx distributed between both feet of the yoke is increased. The figure shows that the signals of Bx and Bz due to the changes of D and Lo are distinguished. Therefore, Both D and Lo are inspected by the linear interpolation using measured Bx and Bz. Table I shows the interpolated results of D and Lo using the Bx - Bz plane of Fig.2. The measured values are almost in agreement with the obtained ones. The table illustrates that both D and Lo can be detected from the Bx and Bz in two detection coils. Conclusions The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1)It is possible to estimate the depth (D) of surface hardened steel plate by detecting the change of flux density in two detection coils due to the difference of the permeability and the conductivity in the steel with and without hardened layers. However, the flux density detected by the search coil is influenced by the change of both lift-off and depth of surface hardened steel. (2)The flux density (Bx) in the detection coil of x-direction is increased and the flux density (Bz) in the detection coil of z-direction is decreased when the surface hardened depth (D) of the induction hardened steel or the lift-off (Lo) are increased. However, the signals of Bx and Bz in two detection coils due to the changes of D and Lo are distinguished. Therefore, it is possible to inspect the D of the surface hardened steel without the influence of Lo by detecting both the Bx and Bz of two detection coils in the proposed inspection sensor.

 Proposal of Inspection Method for Lift-Off and Surface Hardened Depth of Induction Hardened Steel Plate Using by Alternating Magnetic Field

In recent years, the non-destructive inspection (NDI) method based on the eddy-current (EC) effect is increasingly playing an important role in many applications. The advancement in the EC NDI techniques with the miniature magnetic field sensors enables the size estimation of small magnetic particles and the detection of deep-lying defects, such as cracks, metal loss, and other mechanical damages, in highly conductive metals. Several solutions of the field-detection based EC NDI have been developed based on the combination of an excitation coil and magnetic sensors such as Hall, giant-magnetoresistance (GMR), or superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors. The high-sensitivity and cost-effect solutions are the technique with GMR sensors, which are suitable for many different applications, including the defect evaluation in the related industries [1]-[3] and the electronic compass in consumer electronics [4]. The reliability and capability of GMR sensors for defect detection have been demonstrated by using the eddy-current probe with packaged GMR sensor arrays [2] or a single chip having double-coil excitation [3]. However, the usage of the GMR sensor with a big excitation coil is not suitable for the applications for which the space for scanning the probe is small. Furthermore, the linear arrangement of elements in the array [3] makes it suitable only to the specimen with a flat surface. Further improvement in the design of the GMR EC probe should be made to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy in flaw characterization. In this work, we proposed a novel design of miniature differential EC probes consist of a GMR bare-die sensor and a tiny coil. The schematic diagram for the high spatial resolution GMR EC probe is shown in Fig. 1. This probe consists of a tiny excitation coil with a small feature size of less than 3 mm. The GMR sensor is the GF708 bare die from Sensitec GmbH. The chip layout is a Wheatstone bridge circuit with four spin-valve magnetoresistance elements, as shown in the inset of Fig. 1. The sensitivity of the two active elements, R1 and R2, are enhanced by the soft magnetic flux concentrator films, while the two reference elements, R0, are shielded by the same soft magnetic films. The output voltage of the GMR bridge sensor can be expressed as: Vab = Vcc{R0/[R(H)+R0]-R(H)/[R0+R(H)]} (1) where R(H) is the transfer curve modeled as a hyper-tangent function of the magnetic field H on R1 and R2 [4]. The GMR chip is 1 mm in width and 1.4 mm in length, and the sensing axis is along the width of the chip. It is mounted on the edge of a printed circuit board (PCB). A special aluminum wire bonding technique is developed to connect the terminals of the GMR sensor onto both sides of the PCB. With this technique, the distance from the chip surface to the sample surface can be reduced to within 0.2 mm. The sensor surface is perpendicular to the PCB and parallel to the sample surface. The sensing direction of the GMR chip is parallel to the specimen surface and perpendicular to the vertical excitation field. With this arrangement, the GMR chip acts like a gradiometer sensitive to the gradient of the defect field. The miniature chip-and-coil assembly and the short lift-off distance effectively enhance the spatial resolution in flaw detection with the GMR EC probe. To test the spatial resolution in the detection of the defect signal, the sample was placed on the translation stage controlled by the 08TMC-2 motor controller from Unice E-O Services Inc. To scan for the simulated defect in the sample. The GMR EC probe is driven by a 100-kHz sine wave voltage provided by a function generator. The differential output of the probe is measured by a low noise preamplifier and transmitted to the lock-in amplifier to analyze the amplitude and phase of the EC signal. The spatial distribution of the signals was digitized in real-time by a data acquisition (DAQ) module USB-6216 from National Instruments and recorded by the computer. An in-house developed C# program is used to set the scanning range, velocity, and step size as well as to receive the eddy-current signal taken by the DAQ device. The experiment is performed on an aluminum plate with machined slots to simulate the cracks of different depths of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 1.8 mm and the same width of 0.2 mm. The B-scan image with a lift-off distance of 0.2 mm between the probe and the specimen is shown in Fig. 2. It can be seen that the cracks on the aluminum plate are detected and the position of cracks coincides with the change in the in-phase (Re) and quadrature (Im) of the output voltage (Vout). The amplitude for the integration of Vout over the spatial coordinate x is roughly proportional to the depth of cracks. The full width at half maximum of each peak near the crack is less than 2 mm, which has achieved the physical limit set by the lateral size of the probe. The phase plot shows that all of the surface cracks deeper than 0.1 mm can be clearly identified. The result shows that the developed EC probe is suitable for the quantitative evaluation of the geometrical characteristics, such as shapes, sizes and positions of the machined defects on the metallic sample, with a high-spatial resolution.

Energy sources used in industries, such as gas and oil, are mainly transported through buried pipes. If an energy source leaks out from the pipe due to corrosion or cracks, an accident such as an explosion may occur, so it is very important to periodically inspect the buried pipes. Since cracks have the risk of the pipe being torn, it is important to look for cracks in pipe inspection. There are several methods for inspecting buried pipe, such as ultrasonic testing(UT), and magnetic flux leakage testing(MFL). UT method is often used for various inspections including pipe inspection due to their very high accuracy, but has the disadvantage of slow inspection speed and high battery consumption. Buried pipes are connected up to tens to hundreds of kilometers at a time, so long-distance inspections are required for pipe inspection. UT, which has a slow inspection speed and high battery consumption, has limitations in the inspection of buried pipes. On the other hand, the MFL method using MFL sensors has little battery consumption except for the power used for the sensor, the inspection speed is relatively fast, and the defect detection accuracy is high. However, because the width of the crack is very narrow, the crack in the same direction as the magnetic field direction hardly affects the flow of magnetic flux, and there is almost no leaked magnetic flux due to the crack in the same direction as the magnetic field direction. That is, conventional MFL inspection devices such as axial MFL(AMFL) and circumferential MFL(CMFL), which allow magnetic flux to flow in only one direction in the pipe, hardly find cracks in the same direction as the magnetic flux direction[1]-[2]. Fig.1 is here Conversely, if the MFL inspection device is used to allow magnetic flux to flow in various directions in the pipe, it has the advantage of MFL method and can find all cracks regardless of direction. This paper proposes an MFL inspection device that allows magnetic flux to flow through a pipe in various directions and can find all cracks regardless of the direction. Fig. 2 shows the comparison of the magnet placement and magnetic flux direction of the AMFL, CMFL, and the proposed MFL inspection device. Fig.2 is here As shown in Fig. 2(a) and (b), the magnetic flux flows only in the axial and circumferential directions of the conventional MFL inspection devices, AMFL and CMFL, respectively. In contrast, the proposed MFL inspection device arranges the magnets differently from the conventional MFL inspection device, so that the magnetic flux flows in the diagonal and circumferential directions. When the magnetic flux flows through the pipe in two directions using the proposed MFL inspection device, the cracks in the circumferential direction can be detected at the section where the magnetic flux flows in the diagonal direction, and the cracks in the diagonal direction can be detected at the section where the magnetic flux flows in the circumferential direction. In other words, even if there are cracks that can’t be found in the section where the magnetic flux flows in a specific direction, the cracks can be found in the section where the magnetic flux flows in the other direction. As a result, all cracks can be found regardless of the direction using the proposed MFL inspection device. The reason why the MFL method can’t find cracks in the same direction as the magnetic flux direction and details of the proposed MFL inspection device will be covered in full paper.

 Inspection Device Using MFL Sensors for Buried Pipe Inspection to Find all Cracks Regardless of Direction

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing is a widely used method for detection of defects such as the metal loss due to the corrosion in steel bars located in reinforced concrete. The magnetic flux leak caused by the defect is then measured by a magnetic sensor, which gives information to the user of the presence of the defect [1]. For small defects, it is difficult for the sensor to determine the presence and location of the defects. Therefore, we propose a gradiometer measurement setup [2] using highly sensitive magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) sensors, which is based on the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effect, to increase the magnitude of the measured signal. In this work, 2 MTJ sensor modules were used to measure a gap of 0.1 mm between two steel bars (diameter = 20 mm, length = 500 mm). The length of the overall specimen is 1000 mm, where the gap is at the 500 mm mark (touching point of the two steel bars). The MTJ sensor modules consist of each sensor connected in a full-bridge circuit [3]. The signal is then passed through an amplifier circuit and low pass filter to further reduce noise in the measured signal. A robot is then used to move the sensor along the steel bars at a speed of 50 mm/s, measuring the magnetic flux signal. The lift-off value for the overall measurement is set at 50 mm. Before each measurement, the steel bars are magnetized using a solenoid (approximately 1.52 mT). A planar gradiometer setup was used, whereby the MTJ modules are placed in the same x-axis. The effect of the baseline (b), the distance between the first and second MTJ sensor module, was investigated (b = 50, 100, 150, 200 mm). From the results, the overall magnitude of the gradiometer sensor signal showed an increase, almost twice as large as the single sensor module signal (Figure 1). Furthermore, the gradiometer sensor signal produced a single peak response (gap is right above the peak), in contrast to the single sensor signal which produced a sine-like wave response (gap is between the peak and trough) (Figure 2). This is helpful in terms that the location of the gap can be determined in real time. For the estimated gap location, a loss in accuracy was observed in all the signals, with the most accurate location determined for b = 100 mm. We demonstrated that a planar gradiometer setup consisting of 2 MTJ sensors could improve the overall signal value of the measurement setup resulting in an easier way to determine the location of a 0.1 mm gap at 50 mm lift-off. The results obtained from this research are expected to contribute to the further application of MTJ sensors not only in MFL testing but in other fields of magnetic-based non-destructive testing. This work was partly supported by the Center of Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems (CIES) and the Center for Spintronics Research Network (CSRN). The sensors were provided by Mr. Kosuke Fujiwara from Spin Sensing Factory (SSF).

 Detection of Gap in Steel Bars by Magnetic Tunnel Junction Sensor Gradiometer based Magnetic Flux Leakage Testing Method

Non-destructive testing(NDT) is a method that detects discontinuous boundaries or defects that exist inside and outside of pipes without damaging or destroying pipe[1]. The magnetic flux leakage(MFL) method, one of the most representative NDT methods, uses permanent magnets to saturate the ferromagnetic pipe by applying a large magnetic field to the pipe and measure the leakage magnetic flux signal around the defect. Because the MFL signal contains information about the size and shape of the defect, an algorithm can be created to estimate the shape of the defect through analysis[2]-[3]. In general, many studies on non-destructive testing, including the MFL method, mainly focus on detecting defects or cracks in pipeline. However, not only defects but also metal objects outside the pipe affect the condition of the pipe. When external metal contact with the pipe wall, corrosion is more prone to the metal contact area on the pipe. In addition, pipes used in industry are coated with thick plastic to block contact with oxygen or external metal, However, the external metal damages the plastic coating. If a hole is made in the plastic coating of the pipe due to external metal, it is more prone to corrosion by contacting the pipe with oxygen as well as the external metal. Therefore, it is necessary to study not only defects but also detection of metal existing outside the pipe. Analysis of external metals requires research not only to prevent corrosion but also to prevent theft of energy sources in pipes such as oil and gas. People who steal energy sources eventually drill holes in pipes through which the energy source flows, and use metal pipes to steal the energy source. Metal pipe for theft can eventually be found through external metal analysis, so analysis of external metal also helps prevent theft of energy sources. Because the MFL method uses a large magnetic field, it is easier to detect and analyze external metals than other NDT methods. Fig.1 is here This paper analyzes the MFL sensor signals according to the shape and distance of external metal around underground pipeline, and presents an algorithm that estimates the shape and the distance of the external metal to the pipe using the MFL sensor signal. Fig. 2 shows the magnetic flux and the magnetic flux density distribution when there is a defect or external metal, respectively. Fig.2 is here When a defect occurs in the pipe, the cross-sectional area through which the magnetic flux passes decreases, and the magnetic flux flowing through the pipe leaks out of the pipe. In other words, when a defect occurs in the pipe, the magnitude of the signal detected by MFL sensors increases. Conversely, when external metal contacts the pipe, the cross-sectional area through which the magnetic flux passes increases, and the amount of magnetic flux leaking out of the pipe decreases. That is, when external metal contacts the pipe, the magnitude of the signal detected by MFL sensors decreases. In addition, like defects, when the shape or distance of the external metal changes, the size or shape of the signal detected by the MFL sensors also changes. As a result, the shape and distance of the external metal can be estimated by applying the signal change tendency and the defect shape estimation algorithm[2]-[3].

 A Study on the Estimation of the Shapes and Distance of External Metal around Underground Pipeline Using Magnetic Flux Leakage Sensors

Temperature measurements are vital in laboratory and industry settings. For that reason, many different measurement methods exist. Common temperature sensors are based on thermistors, resistance temperature detectors, thermocouples, semiconductors and fiber optics. Optical sensor technologies possess advantages for electrical measurements and analysis in high voltage applications like monitoring in smart grids, ranging from several Hz to some kHz in frequency. In general, in such systems current measurements are based on sensing the magnetic field generated by the electric current rather than the current itself. By this, possible electric hazards are eliminated, and a natural galvanic separation is built into the sensing system. Optical magnetic field or direct current measurement systems have been realized through fiber-optic current sensors, based on an optical fiber around a current conductor1, bulk magnetic garnet materials2, or single or stacked garnet thin films3. We demonstrate magnetooptical measurement schemes based on the Faraday effect for relating magnetic and micromagnetic features to magnetic field, electrical current and temperature4. For that, we use magnetooptical active only micrometer thin iron garnet film. The garnet film has a large Verdet constant (Faraday effect) together with a low absorption coefficient. The magnetooptical Faraday effect sensitivity of the magnetooptical indicator film is 1.8°/mT at room temperature. The polarimetric magnetooptical read-out is realized in a non-contact optical arrangement. For the measurements, the magnetic state of the garnet sensor is modulated through a low noise current amplifier and the magnetooptical response signal is acquired through a lock-in amplifier. The thin film sensor element has the ability for high sensitivity magnetic field and naturally electrical current sensing capabilities over a many magnitudes of field and current. High-resolution magnetic field sensitivities down to the nanotesla regime are demonstrated as shown in Fig. 1. For the micrometer thick garnet films we demonstrate a magnetic field detection limit of better than 20 nT/Hz0.5 and an electrical current detection limit of 3 mA/Hz0.5. These values are achieved over several orders of magnitude of magnetic field frequencies into the kHz regime. The magnetooptical response at small magnetic field amplitudes originates from small magnetic angle rotations inside the magnetic domain walls. Different schemes for the measurements of temperature are evaluated. In all cased the range of application is defined by the Néel temperature of the sensing garnet material5. Exemplary results of temperature sensing based on variations in the magnetic domain wall susceptibility with temperature, from analyzing the resulting magnetooptical signal amplitude in a magnetic modulation field, are shown in Fig. 2. Temperatures are derived with high accuracy of 0.1°C across a wide temperature range. Overall, we propose and demonstrate a multimode magnetooptical temperature sensor relying on combined magnetooptical Faraday effect amplitude variations with the related physical properties. The sensing range spans many orders of signal amplitude and a wide frequency range with equal sensitivity and a limit of detection. Temperatures are derived with high accuracy across a wide temperature range. The measurement schemes can be extended to the use of other magnetic sensing materials. These include ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic films with lower or higher Néel temperatures or Curie temperatures. The magnetooptical sensor allows for measuring magnetic field, direct electrical current, and temperature without electrical connection and will therefore be especially useful in applications requiring resistance to electrical noise. This work was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) through grant no. MC 9/20-1.
