Abstract: The basic principles of two different eddy current testing techniques, the multi-frequency eddy current and pulsed eddy current testing techniques, are introduced and the relationship between them is presented from the Fourier series of the pulsed input signal. It is indicated that the pulsed eddy current testing technique is equal an attenuation type of multi-frequency eddy current testing in nature. Whereas the multi-frequency eddy current testing could be regard as a high frequency weighted pulsed eddy current testing. Some industry applications of these two eddy current testing techniques are shown. With the developments of eddy current theories and the electronic and computer techniques, the multi-frequency eddy current and pulsed eddy current testing techniques will play more and more important roles in eddy current testing.
