Metal pipelines, when subjected to prolonged service in complex working environments, are highly susceptible to defects such as corrosion and cracks, which pose significant threats to the safe operation of pipeline systems. Pulsed eddy current testing (PECT), as an emerging non-destructive testing method, offers notable advantages including rapid detection speed, high sensitivity, strong reliability, and non-contact inspection, demonstrating broad application prospects in the field of metal pipeline defect detection. This paper, based on finite element simulation analysis, establishes a PECT simulation model for metal pipeline defects. It investigates the influence of key factors in excitation signal parameters and coil structure parameters on the detection signals, elucidates the relationship between these parameters and detection effectiveness, and provides theoretical foundations and technical references for the optimal design of PECT system parameters and practical engineering applications.
