Eddy current testing and metal magnetic memory testing, cooperated with special testing devices, were applied to detect the superficial defects of old cylinder barrel. It was indicated that there were three types of the signals, which were non-defect signals, discontinuous peak signals and continuous peak signals. Non-defect signals indicated that there was no defect in cylinder barrel, and the discontinuous peak signals denoted that there was circumferential cracking, and the continuous peak signals showed that there was longitudinal cracking in the surface of cylinder barrel. The amplitude of eddy current testing signals characterizes the depth of cracking, and the gradient of magnetic signals descript the degree of stress concentration. The method mentioned above detects the cracking and stress concentration in the superficial coat of old cylinder barrel, which effectively guarantee the quality of automobile cylinder.
