Abstract:

Non-destructive Eddy current (EC) technique has long been used to detect discontinuities in materials. Recently, its application has been extended to characterize materials microstructure. In order to identify different microstructures, four plain carbon steel bars with different chemical compositions (AISI 1015, 1035, 1045 and 1080) were used in annealed condition. The pearlite percentage, carbon content and estimated hardness were determined according to responses of the samples to eddy current. They include primary and secondary voltages and normalized impedance. These data were compared with those obtained from conventional metallographic method and hardness measurements. The results show the high precision of the non-destructive eddy current method in determining the pearlite percentage, hardness and carbon content of mild carbon steels

Divorced Pearlite in Steels

Steels containing large carbon concentrations are used particularly when a large hardness is required, for example in the manufacture of components such as bearings. This, however, makes it difficult to shape or machine the alloys during the process of component manufacture unless they are first heat–treated into a softened condition. One method of achieving this economically is to generate a m...

Diffusion–Controlled Growth of Pearlite in Ternary Steels

A theory for the diffusion–controlled growth of pearlite in steels containing manganese is presented and assessed in the light of experimental data. Given the overwhelmingly rapid diffusivity that a substitutional solute has within the transformation front, the growth rate is found to be dominated by diffusion parallel to the interface with austenite as the rate controlling step. The relevant i...

Microstructures of Pearlite and Martensite Transformed from Ultrafine-Grained Austenite Fabricated through Cyclic Heat Treatment in Medium Carbon Steels

This study investigated the microstructures of pearlite and martensite transformed from ultrafine-grained austenite in 0.45C steel and Vadded 0.45C steel. The mean prior austenite grain sizes were refined to be 4.5 μm in the 0.45C specimen and 2.4 μm in the V-added 0.45C specimen through cyclic heat treatment of austenitizing and water quenching, i.e., repetition of martensite § austenite trans...

Measuring glottal activity during voiced speech using a tuned electromagnetic resonating collar sensor

Non-acoustic speech sensors can be employed to obtain measurements of one or more aspects of the speech production process, such as glottal activity, even in the presence of background noise. These sensors have a long history of clinical applications and have also recently been applied to the problem of denoising speech signals recorded in acoustically noisy environments (Ng et al 2000 Proc. In...

A fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions

In this paper, the set-up of a multi-mode fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions is investigated and evaluated. The basis of this sensor is based on the Fresnel Reflection. In this setup, a helium-neon laser is used as a light source, a fiber optic probe, photocell as detector and a digital multimeter. The statistical analysis of the recorded data shows a highly linear be...
