            Abstract : 
This article deals with non-destructive testing of artificial prosthesis by eddy current method. The method is suitable for final inspection of prosthesis material before implementation into human body. The artificial knee joint is inspected in this study. The probe of absolute type is used for detection of defects using three various frequencies. The numerical simulations with experimental data are compared in this article.
