Evaluation of Phase Transformation in Manganese Steels by Eddy Current Method

Abstract:

An investigation was conducted to explore the applicability of eddy current nondestructive evaluation technique for the characterization of manganese steels. Specimens of two different types of manganese steels were subjected to various compression loads. The specimens were then evaluated by mechanical and eddy current testing. The hardness and eddy current values were increased due to conversion of austenite to martensite. In this study the correlation between eddy current parameters and compression load was discussed.
