Patent ID: 11692970

Abstract:
A leakage-flux flaw detection device includes a plurality of leakage-flux flaw detectors provided at positions not in contact with a steel strip and arranged in a width direction of the steel strip, wherein the leakage-flux flaw detectors each include a rotating disk that faces a surface subjected to flaw detection of the steel strip and that rotates, and a plurality of defect detection heads installed at different positions in a circumferential direction on the rotating disk, that perform direct-current magnetization of the steel strip, and detect leakage flux leaking from a linear defect due to the direct-current magnetization, wherein at least one of the plurality of defect detection heads has an inclination angle different from inclination angles of other defect detection heads, the inclination angle being defined by a tangent line of a rotation trajectory and the magnetization direction at an installation position of the defect detection head.
