Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0829309A2] The method uses a tester (2) which generates the ultrasound waves (4) when applied to the material (24) under test. The four HF coils (12,14,16,18) are arranged in an essentially homogeneous magnetic field (26) produced by the three permanent magnets (6,8,10). The waves are generated due to the interaction between the eddy currents produced by the coils and the homogeneous magnetic field produced by the magnets, at right angles to the surface. The coils are arranged between the magnets. The irradiation angle alpha is dependent only on the delay time DELTA t of the drive between neighbouring coils.
