Eddygraph: a modular, precision swept frequency eddy current based graphite inspection system

X-Wave Innovations, Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, received a $126,539 Project Grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science (CFDA 81.049: Office of Science Financial Assistance Program) on July 8, 2025, for the development of EDDYGRAPH, a modular, precision swept frequency eddy current-based graphite inspection system. The award, with a completion date of July 7, 2026, supports one year of research and development at the company's facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This project represents a continuation of X-Wave Innovations' established track record in developing advanced sensor technologies and nondestructive evaluation systems for federal agencies.

The EDDYGRAPH system is designed to provide precise graphite inspection capabilities using swept frequency eddy current technology, advancing measurement and diagnostic capabilities relevant to energy infrastructure and scientific research applications. This award aligns with the Office of Science's mission to support fundamental scientific research and discovery, building upon the company's demonstrated expertise in developing cutting-edge sensor systems for critical applications across the energy sector and other federal domains.
