Barkhausen noise analysis in practice: Case depth
The detection of the case depth with Barkhausen noise measurement is based on the hardness difference of the surface (case) and the interior of the material.
The detection of the case depth with Barkhausen noise measurement is based on the hardness difference of the surface (case) and the interior of the material.
Barkhausen noise method can detect stress and hardness changes before cracks occur, but in some cases, it can be used for crack detection.
In this application study retained austenite measurements were compared between the Xstress DR45 and Xstress G2R systems. The measurements were performed on powder samples with varying levels of retained austenite content.
Barkhausen noise analysis gives a response to the hardness state.
Barkhausen noise gives a response to the residual stress state and reacts to both micro and macro stresses.
The measurement parameters need to be optimized for each sensor, material, and sample shape. These parameters are magnetizing power and magnetizing frequency.
Stresstech co-operates with universities and research institutes by developing studies with the research community and collecting information on how to further improve products for the industry.
In this application note residual stress was measured on a magnesium sample with X-ray diffraction method.
