Abstract
A magnetic field generator positioned externally of a non-ferrous metallic tructure being examined, is rotated at a relatively low speed to produce a rotating magnetic field penetrating the metallic structure to a selected depth as a function of spacing between magnetic poles of the generator parallel to a planar surface of the metallic structure. Traction between the metallic structure and the magnetic field accompanying its rotation is measured. Corrosion of the metallic structure at subsurface depths is detected and quantified from such traction measurements.
