Research on the Method of Predicting Corrosion width of Cables Based on the Spontaneous Magnetic Flux Leakage

The detection of cable corrosion is of great significance to the evaluation of cable safety performance. Based on the principle of spontaneous magnetic flux leakage (SMFL), a new method for predicting the corrosion width of cables is proposed. In this paper, in order to quantify the width of corrosion, the parameter about intersecting point distance between curves of magnetic flux component of x direction at different lift off heights (Dx) is proposed by establishing the theoretical model of the magnetic dipole of the rectangular corrosion defect. The MATLAB software was used to analyze the influencing factors of Dx. The results indicate that there exists an obvious linear relationship between the Dx and the y (lift off height), and the Dx–y curves converge to near the true corrosion width when y = 0. The 1/4 and 3/4 quantiles of the Dx–y image were used for linear fitting, which the intercept of the fitting equation was used to represent the predicted corrosion width. After the experimental study on the corrosion width detection for the parallel steel wire and steel strand, it is found that this method can effectively improve the detection accuracy, which plays an important role in cable safety assessment.
