Abstract

This article presents diagnostic tests of wire ropes using passive magnetic methods. The study used two types of wire ropes with different constructions and diameters. Defects of various depths were modeled in the ropes, which reflected the degree of loss of metallic cross-section. After a series of measurements, a correlation was observed between the amplitude of the module signal and the degree of damage to the rope. The signals were recorded with the advantage of the SpinMeter-3D magnetometer. The obtained results were subjected to the extraction of features, the analysis of which allowed the damage to be identified.

Keywords: diagnostics; non-destructive testing; passive magnetic method; residual magnetic field; steel wire ropes.
