Abstract:
A coil for use in an eddy current sensing probe is formed through depositing film traces. The film traces can be directly deposited. The film traces can be deposited on the outer surface of a core or on ends of the core. The film traces can be deposited onto non-planar surfaces other than cores for the inspection of parts having complex geometries. The coil can be used in a single coil probe or in a probe having a sensor array.
