Magnetoelastic characteristics of constructional steel materials

Abstract

Paper presents the methodology and results of magnetoelastic characteristics investigation of three types of constructional steels. Investigated steels were formed into frame-shaped samples with both magnetizing and sensing windings coiled on their columns. Magnetic characteristics of materials were measured by computer controlled hysteresisgraph. In order to apply tensile stresses in material of the sample, special force reversing system was used. The tested samples and the procedure of their investigation were described. Obtained results were processed and presented in the paper as charts, which were analyzed and discussed. On the basis of the results, the conclusions were formulated, which are also included in the paper.
