Any serious student of eddy current testing will likely tell you that “The Fundamentals of Eddy Current Testing” by Donald J. Hagemaier is one of their go-to books for eddy current theory. But did you know that when he worked in the aerospace industry, Donald also authored or co-authored over 10 papers that were published in ASNT’s Material Evaluation magazine?
Check out just a few of these titles:
Nondestructive Detection of Hydrides and Alpha-Case in Titanium Alloys (Dec 1972 Issue)
State of the Art Inspection of Aircraft Structures by NDT (September 1975 Issue)
Eddy Current Detection of Subsurface Cracks (September 1990 Issue)
Nondestructive Testing Developments in the Aircraft Industry (December 1991 Issue)
NDI Technology as it Relates to Aging Aircraft (December 1993 Issue)
Organizing NDT in the Aerospace Industry: The Airworthiness Limitations Instructions (April 1994 Issue).
What I’ve found by scouring the back issues of Material’s Evaluation, is that they contain a wealth of knowledge from yesteryear’s NDT pioneers.
