Ferromagnetic materials have the interaction between mechanical and magnetic fields which is called the magnetomechanical coupling. Typical examples of such couplings are the magnetostriction and dependen ce of the stress strain relation on the magnetic field. The magnetoacoustic effect focused in this paper is also one of the magnetomechanical couplings. It has been shown that from the effect there exists the correlation of the plastic strain and the ultrasonic velocity change due to the magnetization. Th...

Non-Destructive Evaluation of Plastic Deformation of Steelusing Magnetoelastic Coupling Effect

To verify the effect of hardened surface on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of 316L, characteristics of cracked BWR core shroud have been investigated by means of microstructures. At the inner surface of core shroud where grinding was done, fine grains were observed at the surface thin layer. Furthermore, deformation-induced slip-line field including extensive deformation-twins was observed in the harden ed surface region. In contact with corrosion products on the shroud surface, intensive Ni enrichment a...
