Residual stresses typically are generated during the manufacturing process of mechanical components. The non-destructive techniques are quite sensitive to these residual stresses, and to microstructural changes resulting from thermal cycling. In this work, samples of API 5L X80 steel were exposed to several conditions of cooling, under water, air and oil, thus obtaining different microstructures and different levels of residual stresses. The residual stress measurements were made using the methods of Magnetic Barkhausen Noise and X-ray diffraction.

Variations of surface residual stresses as a function of weld runs in API 5L X70 steel plates were non-destructively monitored by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method. After each weld run, MBN signal and hardness distributions were recorded. MBN signals were converted into stress values by using a specific calibration procedure. The results were analyzed by considering microstructure investigations and hardness measurements, and then, they were compared with the results of X-ray diffraction measurements. MBN method seems to be a good candidate for monitoring the variation of surface residual stresses. It may also provide critical data for computer simulation and process design of welding processes.

The characterization of microstructures, mechanical properties, deformation, damage initiation, and growth by Non-Destructive Evaluation techniques is assuming a vital role in various materials. In this paper, the use of Magnetic Barkhausen Noise technique for characterization of mechanical properties in magnetic steel would be discussed. The results have shown that hardening depth and its quality with respect to the microstructure in induction hardened specimens could also be established using the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise technique.

The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the properties, structure and crystallization process of the amorphous Fe-based ribbon with the following chemical compositions: Fe80SixB20-x (x=5,6,8) and Fe75Si15B10. Thermal analysis, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Magnetic-Thermogravimetric Analysis, were used to shed light in the thermal stability and structural changes taking place during the transformation from the amorphous state to the crystalline state. The arising microstructure was observed via X-ray diffraction. Finally, Magnetic Barkhausen Noise measurements took place so as conclusions to be derived relevant to the dependence between the parameters of the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise and the chemical composition of the amorphous ribbons.

Non-destructive methods for detection and measurement of residual stresses (RS) have been increasingly used in the last few years. The paper outlines the capability of Barkhausen noise analysis (BNA) for evaluation of real structure changes and RS on cross-section of welds due to welding of ferromagnetic plates compared with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the RS distribution of specimens joined using by high power diode laser and metal active gas (MAG) welding that can be used for quantitative analysis of macro and micro level RS separately. The principal advantages of BNA over XRD as a tool for RS analysis and real structure characterisation are that it is mobile, faster with more facile carrying out and hence BNA is frequently used for continuous monitoring of RS in industrial processes.

Residual stress, a factor affecting the fatigue and fracture characteristics of rails, is formed during the processes of fabrication and heat treatment, and is also generated by vertical loads on wheels due to the weight of vehicles. Moreover, damage to rails tends to accelerate due to the continuous increase in the number of passes and to the high speed of passing vehicles. Because this can have a direct effect on safety accidents, having a technique to evaluate and analyze the residual stresses in rails accurately is very important. In this study, stresses due to tensile loads applied to new rails and residual stresses remaining in used rails were measured by using magnetic Barkhausen noise method. First, a magnetization frequency and noise band suitable for the rails were selected. Moreover, by applying tensile loads to specimens and comparing the difference in magnetization amplitudes for each load, the stresses applied to the rails by using the magnetic Barkhausen noise method were measured, and the analysis of the results was verified. Based on these results, the difference in the results for the loads asymmetrically applied according to the wheel shape was analyzed by measuring for the head parts of used rails.

In this work, we show that the measurement of the Barkhausen noise allows the residual stresses in each of the two phases of ferrite-martensite steels to be characterized. We have first studied the effect of a tensile and a compressive stress on the Barkhausen noise signature. We observed that for a ferrite-martensite steel, the application of a tensile stress increases the Barkhausen activity of the martensite and ferrite phases, whereas a compressive one reduces it. In a second time, we induced residual stresses by applying a plastic deformation to ferrite-martensite steels. After a tensile plastic deformation, we observed that (i) compressive residual stresses appear in ferrite, and (ii) tensile residual stresses appear in martensite. An opposite behavior is observed after a compressive plastic deformation. These results show that the Barkhausen noise measurement makes it possible to highlight in a nondestructive way the distribution of the stresses in each of the two phases of a ferrite-martensite steel. This result could be used to characterize industrial Dual- Phases steels that are plastically deformed during mechanical processes.
