Summary

Researchers used magnetic Barkhausen emission analysis to detect subtle stress-induced changes in the magnetic properties of mild steel. They found that elastic stress caused both quantitative changes in domain wall activity and qualitative shifts in domain wall motion. This non-destructive approach could improve structural health monitoring in steel-based infrastructure.

In this study magnetic Barkhausen emission – based approaches were used to reveal and characterize some interesting elastic stress - induced quantitative and qualitative subtle changes in the micromagnetic activity of steels. The quantitative changes consist in a multiplication of domain walls whereas the qualitative in the formation of two major modes of domain wall motion. Concerning the first kind of changes, it was shown that the experimentally obtained low limit of elastic stress at which such micromagnetic changes may occur is in reasonable agreement with existing theoretical as well as experimental results. Concerning the second kind of changes, it was shown by means of two types of distribution approach, that these two modes of wall motion may be related to the grain boundaries as well as the grain interior micromagnetic activity. In this context, it was also shown that an increase in the supplied elastic strain leads to a broadening of both distribution modes.

Effects of plastic strain and reloading stress on the magneto-mechanical behavior of electrical steels: Experiments and modeling

Researchers studied how bending and stretching steel during manufacturing permanently changes its magnetic properties, finding that plastic deformation degrades magnetic performance but applying tension afterward can partially restore it. They developed a model that accurately predicts these magnetic changes, which could help engineers better design electric motors and transformers.

INFLUENCE OF ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD ON STRUCTURAL RELAXATION AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF REACTOR VESSEL STEEL 15Kh2NMFA IN A STRESS-STRAIN STATE

Researchers examined how an alternating magnetic field (50 Hz) influences structural relaxation and magnetic properties of reactor vessel steel 15Kh2NMFA in a stress-strain state. The study found that structural relaxation and magnetic property changes are driven by microplasticity processes activated by the alternating magnetic field at sites of structural inhomogeneity with high internal stress concentrations.
