© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Deep defect detection for ferromagnetic materials is a challenging task for Eddy Current testing (ECT)due to the skin effect of the low penetration depth. Pulsed Eddy Current testing (PECT)is a potential and effective method for detecting deep subsurface defects as it can obtain multiple depth information owing to its wide spectrum range. A novel weak coupling sensing structure of pulsed eddy current is proposed. In particular, the structure improves the ratio of the indirect coupling energy by reducing the direct coupling energy between the excitation and the detection coils. It obviously improves the ability to detect deep subsurface defects of ferromagnetic materials. The principle of penetration and the analysis of its equivalent circuit are presented. In addition, both experiments and simulations on different defects detection have been studied. The results have confirmed that all types of defects can be detected and it has shown the relatively monotonic linear relationships and reliability.
