Research and Design of a Steel Material Sorting Instrument based on Eddy Current

Eddy current is presented in electric coil when it approaches metallic conductor. Different metals have different conductivity and permeability. Therefore, the equivalent impedances of the electric coil are also different. Based on the principle, a Steel material sorting instrument was made to detect the steel permeability level, through the permeability level, combined with the central processing circuit steel hardness values reflect iron parts, materials and the carbon content of steel, mixing nondestructive sorting.
