Abstract
An overlayer intended to cover an object in order to detect a defect on a surface of the object, comprises an assembly made up of a plurality of current-conducting wire elements of different mechanical resistances and a means for insulating the conducting wire elements, each conducting wire element being arranged such as to at least partially cover a surface of the object when the overlayer covers the object, each conducting wire element being arranged to allow the connection thereof to a test device for detecting a defect affecting the conducting element.
