Abstract
Microstructures and strength of variously heat treated eutectoid steel were evaluated by magnetic property measurements. Isothermal transformation, continuous cooling or spheroidization heat treatment was performed to produce various microstructures. Microstructural parameters (phase, pearlite interlamellar spacing), mechanical properties (fracture strength) and magnetic parameters (coercivity, remanence, hysteresis loss, saturation magnetization) were measured to investigate the relationships among these parameters. Coercivity and remanence were observed to be high in order of martensite, pearlite and ferrite phase. The linear decrease of coercivity and remanence with the interlamellar spacing and the linear increase of those with fracture strength of pearlitic eutectoid steel were found. Coercivity and remanence were suggested as potential magnetic parameters for discriminating phases and quantitatively assessing the pearlite interlamellar spacing as well as strength of eutectoid steel.
