          Abstract

          Active thermography via electromagnetic excitation is a non-destructive evaluation method with a wide range of applications. It is a quick and reliable means for detecting inhomogeneities like cracks at or close to the surface of conductive components utilizing infrared imaging. Electric current can be used in two ways for thermography: In induction thermography, a current is coupled to the component without contact by passing an alternating current through a coil which is in close proximity to the component inspected; in conduction thermography, the current is coupled directly with the component. In this paper, we present a review of the basics of this non-destructive evaluation method along with several component examples and examples of inspection systems. In particular, automated testing is regarded. Additionally, sufficient detectability of cracks under low and high residual stress is discussed and compared with other surface testing methods.

          Kurzfassung

          Aktive Thermografie mit elektromagnetischer Anregung ist eine Methode der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung mit einem weiten Anwendungsbereich. Sie erlaubt die schnelle und zuverlässige Detektion von Ungänzen, wie beispielsweise Rissen, an der Oberfläche oder in Oberflächennähe leitfähiger Komponenten durch Infrarotkameras. Dabei kann elektrischer Strom in zwei Arten für Thermografie verwendet werden: Bei der Induktionsthermografie wird der Strom kontaktfrei durch einen Wechselstrom in einer Spule, die sich in der Nähe des Bauteils befindet, in das Bauteil induziert. Bei der Konduktionsthermografie wird der Strom dagegen direkt in die Komponente eingebracht. In dieser Veröffentlichung präsentieren wir einen Überblick über die Grundlagen zusammen mit einigen Bauteil- und Systembeispielen. Insbesondere wird dabei die automatisierte Prüfung betrachtet. Zusätzlich wird eine gut verwendbare Detektion von Rissen mit niedrigen und hohen Eigenspannungen diskutiert und mit anderen Oberflächenprüfverfahren verglichen.

                Dr. Johannes Vrana, born in 1978, studied physics at the Technical University of Munich, Germany and completed his PhD in 2008 at the University of Saarland on Thermographic Testing. He then worked for Siemens Power and Gas in Orlando, USA as well as in Berlin and Munich, Germany and was responsible for all supplier related NDE questions and was Chairman of the Siemens NDE Council. In addition to worldwide harmonization of NDT specifications and the introduction of statistical tools, he was responsible for the development of automated NDT. In 2015 he started his own company “Vrana GmbH” in Rimsting, Germany which specializes in NDE consulting, R&D, and software development.

                Dr. Matthias Goldammer studied physics at the University of Würzburg, Germany and the University of Texas at Austin, USA where he obtained a Master's degree and continued his studies at the Technical University of Munich where he received a PhD in 2001. He started at the Siemens AG in 2001 in the R&D department Corporate Technology, working on thermography and continued covering additional methods such as ultrasonic testing, X-ray radiography and computed tomography. He is chairman of the technical committee for thermography of the German Society for Non-destructive Testing and lecturer for level III training in thermography.
