Detection of the Magnetic Easy Direction in Steels Using Induced Magnetic Fields
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
3. Results and Discussion
4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The proposed approach can be successfully applied for experimental evaluation of magnetic anisotropy in steels. The approach is non-destructive and can be used in the study of local magnetic properties and of magnetic properties of steels according to different magnetization directions. This approach was also able to determine the magnetization easy direction of the steel studied in samples with different dimensions and even different geometries.
- (2)
- The proposed approach uses direct current to generate an external magnetic field that is applied in the region of magnetic reversibility. This region belongs to the low induction loss region and proved to be sensitive to magnetic anisotropy, which was not observed in other works that only reported findings in the high induced losses region.
