Abstract
A study was carried out to observe a heat-affected zone (HAZ) in a deformed Fe–Cr–Ni system containing α′ martensite using high-Tc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscopy. Microstructure and remanent magnetization images were studied by an optical microscope and a SQUID microscope, respectively. The HAZ, in which only the face-centered-cubic austenite phase exists, could be visualized by the SQUID microscope. It was also found that the SQUID images were consistent with the results from the microstructural analysis. It was concluded that a simple SQUID measurement may serve as an effective method for a nondestructive evaluation of ferromagnetic steel phases by correlating remanent magnetization images to microstructural characteristics.
