Abstract The quality and work-life of ball bearings depending on the material properties of the steel ball, hence it is necessary to carefully classify their properties for bearings and related applications. Classification of steel balls based on the subtle difference in their electromagnetic properties is presented in this paper. The conductivity and magnetic susceptibility for the steel balls of the same kind are measured to investigate the correlation with eddy-current signals. The developed eddy-current sensor works at the resonant frequency of 117 kHz with an optimal readout resistance of 15 kΩ, which helps to boost the signal level without a high-gain preamplifier. To detect the eddy-current signal, the steel ball under test moves through the pickup coil, and the recorded data are used to build the voltage probability map for the classification of the steel ball properties. Experimental results show that the steel balls with and without the hardening process can be identified by the change in the amplitude and phase of the eddy current signal, which is consistent with the observed change in the electromagnetic properties of steel balls. The built system can be applied to the related industries to check the quality of steel balls before use.

Modern production equipment is based on the results of quality control as well as process parameters. The magnetic anisotropy of materials is closely connected to internal mechanical stress by the Villari effect, and also to hardening effects due to plastic deformations, and could therefore provide an interesting basis for process control. Nevertheless, the analysis of anisotropic properties is extremely sensitive to sensor and workpiece misalignments, such as tilting. In this work, a novel eddy current sensor system is introduced, performing a non-contact measurement of the magnetic anisotropy of a workpiece and realizing a separation and correction of tilting effects. The measurement principle is demonstrated with the example of two samples with different magnetic anisotropy values induced by cold forming. Both samples are analyzed under different tilt angles between the sensor axis and the surface of the workpiece. In this work, digital signal processing is demonstrated on the acquired raw data in order to differentiate the effects of tilt and of anisotropy, with the use of preliminary results as an example of two prepared samples.
