Eddy-current control of the phase composition and hardness of metastable austenitic steel after different regimes of nanostructuring frictional treatment

详细

The possibilities are studied for using an electromagnetic eddy-current technique of monitoring the phase composition and hardness of austenitic chromium–nickel steel that has been subjected to hardening frictional treatment in different technological regimes. It is shown that an eddy-current structuroscope and a Vektor eddy-current defectoscope make it possible to control the amount of straininduced martensite and the microhardness of the surface of metastable austenitic steel after nanostructuring frictional treatment with different numbers of gliding indenter scans (passes). The Vektor eddycurrent defectoscope allows one to monitor the phase composition of austenitic steel that has been subjected to nanostructuring frictional treatment in a temperature range from −196 to +250°C.
