Thermo-inductive testing is a new technique used for health inspection on different components of automotive and aeronautic industries. Defect detection is based on the modification of induced eddy current and temperatures due to the presence of defects. The temperature change propagated at the surface of the specimen can then be detected by an infrared camera. In this work, a 3D numerical model of this technique is developed and applied to aeronautic materials. Results obtained are compared with the infrared thermography method to demonstrate the relevance of the new technique.
