Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an eddy current testing probe, which is suitable for used in a nondestructive test. The eddy current testing probe is provided with an excitation coil (2, 2a, 2b) which generates an alternating magnetic field to generate an eddy current (12) in a specimen (10), and a pair of detection coils (1a, 1b) differentially connected and arranged in phase. A central portion (C1) of the pair of detection coils and a central portion (C2) of the excitation coil (2, 2a, 2b) are arranged to be located at an identical or an almost identical position in a plan view taken in the direction toward the specimen (10), and a flaw (11) on the specimen (10) is detected based on a difference between voltages generated in the pair of detection coils (1a, 1b) due to the eddy current (12).
