Abstract: | A wire rope defects detection method based on permanent magnet excitation is proposed.A detection system,mainly composed of permanent magnet excitation,distance detection,multi-sensor magnetic flux leakage signal acquisition and data analysis device,is set up.According to the different characteristics of the multi-sensor magnetic flux leakage signal,the localized fault(LF)and loss of metallic cross-sectional area(LMA)signal is separated,and then the two defects can be detected.The experiments show that the method can effectively detect the two defects when they appear simultaneously on the wire rope. |
