TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of Barkhausen noise on elastic and plastic deformations, achieved in tension and in compression, has been investigated both in Armco iron and a low carbon steel.
Abstract: The dependence of Barkhausen noise on elastic and plastic deformations, achieved in tension and in compression, has been investigated both in Armco iron and a low carbon steel These materials exhibit quite different behaviours, especially with regard to the effect of plastic deformation: a tensile plastic deformation (>1%) induces a marked increase in Barkhausen noise for Armco iron while it induces a steep decrease in the low carbon steel The comparison between the tensile and compressive behaviours, as well as between the elastic and plastic regimes of deformation enables us to attribute these effects to two underlying mechanisms, ie effect of residual internal stresses through magneto-elastic coupling and dislocation–domain wall interaction In Armco iron, the latter mechanism seems to have the strongest influence on the Barkhausen noise, while in the low carbon steel the influence of residual internal stresses prevails

Abstract: Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of materials for characterising various key microstructural features, mechanical properties (tension, creep, fatigue crack growth, hardness and fracture toughness), deformation and damage mechanisms has attracted considerable attention in the past 20 years as a primary step towards ensuring structural integrity of components. However, until recently, the correlations between the various NDE parameters and material properties have been only empirical and based on physical principles. The interaction between the NDE probing medium and the mechanical behaviour is not yet fully understood. The purpose of this review is to discuss the progress made in the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques in evaluating various microstructural features and mechanical properties with emphasis on recent studies. Reinterpretation of older data, in the light of present understanding of the interaction of the NDE probing medium with material parameters, is carried out selectively. The NDT techniques evaluated include acoustic emission, ultrasonic attenuation and velocity, magnetic hysteresis parameters, magnetic Barkhausen emission, acoustic Barkhausen emission, laser interferometry, positron annihilation, X-ray diffraction and small angle neutron scattering. Critical assessments of the applicability of the various NDE techniques for the material parameters are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of interlaboratory tests on the same series of samples are presented and the significance of the methodology used in the correct interpretation of the results for a given material is discussed.
Abstract: Magnetic Barkhausen noise (mBN) is known to be related to magnetization reversal mechanisms and the underlying microstructure in magnetic materials. However, the quantitative evaluation of the material properties is hindered by the stochastic nature of the method combined with the lack of standardization. In this paper, the results of interlaboratory tests on the same series of samples are presented. Electrical steel samples have been prepared with controlled grain size (11–148 μm) and strain (0–29%) and have been characterized using the mBN technique as developed in three different laboratories. In spite of the different methodologies used, mBN is found to increase with strain and decrease with decreasing grain size, in all cases. Of special interest is the variation of the double-peaked BN envelope with the grain size, with one peak occurring in positive and the other in negative fields. The significance of the methodology used in the correct interpretation of the results for a given material is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, an extended in situ magnetic characterisation of a non-oriented (NO) Fe-3 wt.%)Si steel was performed under uniaxial tensile stresses approaching and exceeding the macroscopic elastic limit σ e and in the corresponding unloaded states.
Abstract: This study presents an extended in situ magnetic characterisation of a non-oriented (NO) Fe–(3 wt.%)Si steel. An appropriate experimental device was created and magnetic measurements were performed under uniaxial tensile stresses approaching and exceeding the macroscopic elastic limit σ e and in the corresponding unloaded states. Both Barkhausen noise and B–H hysteresis loops were measured. The sensitivity to stress was found to be qualitatively similar to that of polycrystalline iron. The different stages of the tensile deformation (perfectly elastic stage, microplastic yielding stage, the two strain-hardening stages) were clearly identified by the magnetic parameters. In the plastic strain domain, the coercive field H c and the inverse of the initial relative permeability 1/ μ r i linearly increase, while the maximal relative permeability μ r max and the Barkhausen noise peak height BN max linearly decrease with the applied stress σ . The remnant induction B r keeps a low and constant value. Furthermore, a linear dependence of 1/ μ r i , H c , μ r max and BN max on the kinematic hardening X was found. By using measurements on prestrained specimens under reloaded elastic stresses, an accurate identification of the effect of dislocations acting as pinning sites and of the magnetoelastic effect of long-range internal stresses was proposed.
