Effect of hardening on electrical and magnetic properties of C-75 steel and characterization with multi-frequency inductance spectroscopy

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Non-destructive monitoring of metal hardness is important for process monitoring and product quality assessment. In this paper, a partially hardened metal sample is assessed in regards to physical effects using multi-frequency inductance spectroscopy. For this purpose, the influence of change of conductivity, permeability and stress on the inductance spectra are analyzed. To extract the numerical values of permeability, the measured inductance spectra are compared to the analytical inductance model. Statistical analysis with principal component analysis is conducted to fuse the spectral data into a single representative value. The results show the possibility to obtain information from different layers of the partially hardened sample, thus indicating a strong relationship between the measured inductance and restraint hardening.
