Detecting hidden corrosion with magnetism
Keywords: Corrosion, Magnetic fields
Physicists at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, Tennessee) claim to have developed a new remote sending technique to detect corrosion hidden deep within metal joints where conventional electrochemical-detection methods fail. The researchers say that their tiny magnetometer - called Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) - has demonstrated an unrivalled ability to detect many types of hidden corrosion in laboratory tests.
