Abstract
In a method of testing weld seams using an eddy-current technique, large-volume and coarse-grained weld seams are subjected to the testing, said weld seams being tested for the presence of faults in layers on-line during their buildup. The method is particularly suitable for testing components with austenitic weld metal. It is notable for a high fault location probability.
