The Induction Thermography System™ is a new type of transient thermography that uses inductive heating of electrically conducting materials to detect flaws.  The standard unit delivers up to 2 kilowatts of RF energy in the 160-400 KHz range in a pulsed mode.  The resulting heat deposited in the material can highlight flaws as it diffuses through the material.  Disbonds, delaminations and cracks are all easily seen.  Compared to conventional flash thermography, the equipment is much more compact and because the energy delivery efficiency is higher, smaller flaws can be detected.  The ITS™ system is effective in detecting disbonds in coatings (such as on turbine blades) or electrically insulating layers applied over metals.
