Abstract
We have designed a non-destructive evaluation system by using an electronic gradiometer constructed with two DC SQUID magnetometers. Typical flux modu lation of the SQUIDs used in this work was about 30 mu V and the noise at 1 0 Hz was about 14 mu Phi(0)/root Hz. The system includes a non-magnetic sta inless steel dewar and a set of coaxial exciting coils, which was used to i nduce an eddy current in the test piece. The sample motion stage and the SQ UIDs were computer controlled and the output data from the electronic gradi ometer was obtained by using Labview software.
