Optical inspection is often implemented in the machines during the manufacturing process in order to monitor the possible generated defects. However, it is also crucial to test the quality of the manufactured parts after their fabrication and monitor their health throughout their industrial lifetime. Therefore structural health monitoring (SHM) methods need to be studied or designed. In this paper, the eddy current method is used to control fabricated parts, as this technique is adapted to detect surface and shallow defects in conductive materials. Using simulations with the CIVA non-destructive testing software package, several sensors and their parameters were tested in order to determine the most optimal ones: a separate transmitter\/receiver sensor and an isotropic sensor were finally designed. The comparison of these sensors\u2019 efficiency was made on the detection of notches and engraved letters based on simulation and experimental tests on parts fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) in order to determine the optimal sensor. The various tests showed that the isotropic sensor is the optimal one for the detection and characterization of defects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23094336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T02:02:23Z","timestamp":1682647343000},"page":"4336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Eddy Current Sensors Optimization for Defect Detection in Parts Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Romain","family":"Saddoud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay, CEA, List, F-91120 Palaiseau, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9640-2626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Sergeeva-Chollet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay, CEA, List, F-91120 Palaiseau, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8209-3225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michel","family":"Darmon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay, CEA, List, F-91120 Palaiseau, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1016\/j.msea.2019.04.101","article-title":"A competition between the contour and hatching zones on the high cycle fatigue behaviour of a 316L stainless steel: Analyzed using X-ray computed tomography","volume":"757","author":"Andreau","year":"2019","journal-title":"Mater.
