Inclusions are small particles or linear ferrite residuals that are usually considered to be undesirable. They may be spherical or elongated. They may originate from two major sources.

Magnetic Analysis Corp.’s line of Echomac® systems for testing ERW tube during production now includes Phased Array ultrasonic models as well as conventional ultrasonic systems.

Eccentricity, where the OD and ID of a tube are not concentric, is a problem that is most often created during extrusion of the tube from billet. Eccentricity in the finished product can mean wall thicknesses that don’t meet specifications, causing problems during further processing downstream. The Echomac® FD, 4 Channel is an ultrasonic equipment used for detecting eccentricity.

Sigma Phase is a brittle, nonmagnetic phase of tetragonal structure occurring in many transition metal alloys. It is frequently encountered in high chromium stainless steels. The test consists of a two channel MultiMac® eddy current tester. One channel is used for the detection of typical defects, while the other absolute channel is used for finding Sigma Phase.
