In wire production facilities, faults such as scratches, pits, slits, etc. usually occur on the wires during production. Such defects greatly affect the quality of the wires, especially those produced by coating. Non-destructive testing methods such as the eddy current technique are required to detect faults on wires. In the present study, three different types of defects on aluminum-coated steel wires of three different diameters were examined by the eddy current method. The wire modelling of these defects, which were determined as scratch, medium defect and deep defect, were modelled as close to the real model. These wire models were integrated into COMSOL Multiphysics, a numerical solution method and numerical analysis was performed and compared with experimental results. As a result, it was observed that the results obtained by numerical analysis largely match the experimental data (with an error of less than 0.92%). This study validates the numerical solution method for wires with different diameters and the detection of other unpredictable wire faults and serves as an example for future studies.
