Although the sensitivity of the magnetic field sensor is important for many applications in electromagnetic testing, SQUID sensors are usually employed for other reasons. For successful defect detection, properties such as high linearity, large dynamic range, and good spatial resolution are required. We present the implementation of a SQUID magnetometer in an eddy current testing system for the measurement of very thick structures of large aircrafts. A three-layer aluminium sample from EADS Airbus was measured, with a total thickness of 62 mm, resembling the projected outer wing splice of the Airbus A-380. The sample has bolted joints and second-layer cracks adjacent to the titanium bolts.
