Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-destructive testing equipment and method for testing a heating element in an aerosol-generating article. The testing equipment comprises a control module comprising a passage for an aerosol-generating article to pass the control module through the passage. The control module further comprises a control circuit and a measurement device. The control circuit comprises an excitation coil configured to generate an alternating magnetic field within the passage of the control module. The measurement device is configured to determine values related to a load applied to the control circuit responsive to physical characteristics of the heating element, when the heating element passes the control module through the passage. The control module is further configured to determine if a determined value of the tested heating element corresponds to a predefined value of a predefined heating element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-layer susceptor assembly for inductively heating an aerosol-forming substrate which comprises at least a first layer and a second layer intimately coupled to the first layer. The first layer comprises a first susceptor material. The second layer comprises a second susceptor material having a Curie temperature lower than 500° C. The susceptor assembly further comprises a third layer intimately coupled to the second layer. The third layer comprises a specific stress-compensating material and specific layer thickness for compensating differences in thermal expansion occurring in the multi-layer susceptor assembly after a processing of the assembly such that at least in a compensation temperature range an overall thermal deformation of the susceptor assembly is essentially limited to in-plane deformations. The compensation temperature range extends at least from 20 K below the Curie temperature of the second susceptor material up to the Curie temperature of the second susceptor material.

The compensation temperature range extends at least from 20 K below the Curie temperature of the second susceptor material up to the Curie temperature of the second susceptor material.
