Abstract

Excitation parameter preferences are key factors afecting the performance of magnetic frequency mixing detection. A uniform experimental design method was used to analyze this infuence. Using fuzzy theory, a comprehensive model is established for evaluating the efect of magnetic frequency mixing. A polynomial is selected as the regression function to express explicitly the correlation between the excitation parameters and the frequency-mixing efect. The excitation parameters were then optimized using genetic algorithm. Magnetic frequency mixing experiments were conducted to measure the surface hardness of some ferromagnetic materials. Frequency mixing is further enhanced under the optimal settings, resulting in an improvement in the measurement sensitivity. The results of this study support the application of the magnetic frequency mixing technique in non-destructive testing.
