Characterization of Crack Initiation Life in Ferromagnetic Material by Metal Magnetic Memory Testing

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the geomagnetic field, stress can induce spontaneous magnetic signals in ferromagnetic materials, the method, named metal magnetic memory testing, can be potentially applied in estimating the fatigue life. In this paper, the normal component of magnetic field, Hp (y), was measured during dynamic tension test on the surfaces of ferromagnetic specimens with stress concentration factor of 5. The results indicated that the gradient of magnetic field intensity, K, was the key parameter to characterize crack initiation life. Then the numerical fitting of K and fatigue cycles were done under three level loads, 568.7MPa, 698.8MPa and 864.4MPa, meanwhile, a simple model was derived.
