Nondestructive evaluation of residual stresses in case hardened steels by magnetic anisotropy measurements

چکیده
This paper reports on a recent study aimed at developing the stress-induced magnetic anisotropy (SMA) technique for characterizing residual stresses in case hardened steel components. The results of SMA measurements performed on flat induction hardened steel discs with different case depths confirm the feasibility of detecting principal stress axes by measuring the angular variation of magnetic permeability. The permeability signals along the principal axes were found to vary monotonically with the residual stresses measured by XRD, but the signals are in general smaller for samples with a larger case depth. The magnetomechanical properties of the martensitic case and ferritic/pearlitic core of the induction hardened sample were studied by measuring magnetostriction curves from strip samples that were cut from the case and core regions, respectively. The case strip shows a significantly lower magnetostriction than the core strip, indicating a weaker stress dependence of magnetic properties for the martensitic case than for the ferritic/pearlitic bulk of the case hardened samples.

Magnetic Hysteresis and Barkausen Noise in Plastically Deformed Steel Sheets
The magnetic properties of steels are affected by plastic deformation, because the domain wall processes magnetoelastically interact with the dislocations and the residual stresses. The evolution of the magnetic hysteresis loop and its parameters with the type and degree of straining can thus provide a macroscopic signature of the underlying the mechanical and structural properties. Additional ...

An X-ray diffraction line will broaden considerably when steels change into martensitic structure on quenching. The results presented in this paper show that X-ray diffraction technique can be employed for a rapid and nondestructive measurement of hardness of hardened steel. Measurement on various quenched and tempered steels showed that the breadth of its diffraction peak increased with increa...

Precipitation hardening is the most common method in the strengthening of aluminium alloys. This method relies on the decrease of solid solubility with temperature reduction to produce fine precipitations which impede the movement of dislocations. The quality control of aluminium alloy specimens is an important concern of engineers. Among different methods, non-destructive techniques are the...
