We applied eddy current transducer (ECT) to examine the electric steel parameters. The research topic is considered relevant due to the need for evaluation and forecasting of safe operating life of electric steel products. A scheme that uses a computer as a generator and receiver of signals from windings is proposed. Having the designed transducer as a basis, a hardware-software complex was built to perform experimental studies of steel at the interface boundary. The article provides the key technical information about the eddy current transformer used and describes the methodology of measurements that makes it possible to control steel to dielectric transition. Test results are reported for a specimen with continuous and discrete measurements taken at different frequencies. The curve of introduced voltage amplitude as a function of sensor location was constructed to study in details the introduced voltage drop at the ferromagnetic-dielectric interface. Presentation of induced voltage changes in the form of mathematical dependences enables to elicit the ways of interaction between electromagnetic field of eddy-current converter and residual magnetic field of steel.

The research aims to develop a microminiature converter for electrical steel investigation. The research topic is considered relevant due to the need for evaluation and forecasting of safe operating life of electric steel products. The authors determined the capability to study steel characteristics at different depths based on variations of eddy-current converter amplitude at the steel-dielectric boundary. A microminiature transformer-type converter was designed, which enables to perform local investigations of ferromagnetic materials using eddy-current method based on local studies of the steel electrical conductivity. Having the designed converter as a basis, a hardware-software complex was built to perform experimental studies of steel at the interface boundary. A system was developed for automated converter relocation above the studied object at a specified velocity. Test results are reported for a specimen with continuous and discrete measurements taken at different frequencies. Response dependence of eddy-current converter was found to demonstrate non-linear behavior at steel to dielectric transition. The effect of gap between the eddy-current converter and the test object is investigated.

Based on the eddy current transducer of the transformer type, a measuring system has been developed that makes it possible to investigate the welded joints obtained by friction stir welding (FSW). The main technical information about the eddy current converter being used is given, and a measurement procedure is described that allows to search for defects in welded seams of aluminum plates. The device allows to automatically change the main operating frequency of the device and the cutoff frequency of the filtration system. The experiments were carried out on aluminum-magnesium alloy plates being connected by friction welding. In the article, the results of measurements are presented, allowing to estimate the quality of a welded seam and to answer a question on reliability of welding.

The eddy current transformer (EST) of the transformer type is used to construct a sensor for investigating titanium sheets joined by a welded joint. The article provides the key technical information about the eddy current transformer used and describes the methodology of measurements that makes it possible to control defects in the welding seams of titanium alloys. It is capable of automatically changing the filtering cutoff frequency and operating frequency of the device. The designed measuring system eliminates the main drawback of eddy current transformers (the small area of the electromagnetic field), simultaneously significantly reducing the noise level due to the use of high-quality amplifiers and filters, and searches for defects in and alloys of different metals. A measurement procedure that allows one to perform high-accuracy monitoring of flaws in different alloys is described. Experiments were conducted on welded BT1-0 titanium plates. The article contains the results of these measurements. The dependence data facilitates the assessment of the quality of welding seams and helps make an educated conclusion about welding quality.

Abstract The paper presents a study of the chaotic jerk circuit (CJC) employment capabilities for digital communications. The concept of coherent chaos shift keying (CSK) communication system with controlled error feedback chaotic synchronization is proposed for a specific CJC in two modifications. The stability of chaotic synchronization between the two CJCs was evaluated in terms of voltage drop at the input of the slave circuit and the impact of channel noise using simulations and experimental studies.

The purpose of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of the experimentally obtained and calculated values of the measuring windings total EMF amplitudes of the eddy current transducer with spatially periodic fields when magnetic and nonmagnetic cylindrical product are placed in it. To realize this goal in the work, a transducer with translational symmetry of excitation magnetic field has been developed. Translation symmetry typical example is the field of a long current conductor. The paper considers quasi-static electromagnetic field with the wavelength that exceeds characteristic transverse dimensions of conductor and cylinder. As the study result it is seen a satisfactory coincidence of the calculated and experimentally obtained values of the EMF of the transducer output signal in the cases of the product absence and with variety of products. As for example for measuring windings with angular coordinates φ = 30° and 60° an error of voltage values difference is less than 10%. The study shows that the advantage of such transducers while operating on one fixed frequency is capability to perform the multi-parameter testing on account of processing of certain amount of some spatial harmonics of excitation field.

The article presents results of theoretical and experimental studies of the processes of iron solid-phase reduction from an iron-containing concentrate obtained as a result of hydrometallurgical dressing of ferromanganese and polymetallic manganese-containing ores with coals of grades D (long-flame) and 2B (brown). The method of thermodynamic modeling using TERRA software complex was used to study the reducing properties of hydrocarbons by calculating equilibrium compositions in the temperature range of 373 - 1873 K. The authors obtained the dependences of compositions and volume of the gas phase formed as a result of the release of volatile components during heating on the temperature for the coals of the grades under consideration. As a result of thermodynamic modeling, the optimal temperatures and consumption are determined, which ensure the complete iron reduction from an iron-containing concentrate. The results of experimental studies were obtained by modern research methods using laboratory and analytical equipment, as well as methods of statistical processing. Results of the coals analysis carried out using the Setaram LabSys Evo thermal analyzer showed that the process of thermal decomposition of coals of the studied grades proceeds according to general laws. The process of thermal decomposition of long-flame coal proceeds less intensively than of brown coal. The results of an experimental study of the processes of thermal decomposition of reducing agents have shown that volumes of the gas phases, formed when coals are heated to a temperature of 1173 K in an argon atmosphere, practically coincide with the calculated values. As a result of thermodynamic modeling and experimental study, the optimal consumption of D and 2B grades of coal is determined at a temperature of 1473 K. The best reducing agent with a minimum specific consumption is long-flame coal of D grade. When determining the optimal amount of reducing agent in charge mixtures during the study of metallization processes, it was found that with an excess of reducing agent, it is possible to achieve almost complete extraction (98 - 99 %) of iron from the concentrate.
