Abstract

This paper proposes and experimentally investigates a novel nondestructive testing method for ferromagnetic elements monitoring, the Magnetic Recording Method (MRM). In this method, the inspected element must be magnetized in a strictly defined manner before operation. This can be achieved using an array of permanent magnets arranged to produce a quasi-sinusoidal magnetization path. The magnetic field caused by the original residual magnetization of the element is measured and stored for future reference. After the operation or loading, the magnetic field measurement is repeated. Analysis of relative changes in the magnetic field (for selected components) allows identifying applied stress. The proposed research methodology aims to provide information on the steel structure condition unambiguously and accurately. An interpretation of the results without referring to the original magnetization is also possible but could be less accurate. The method can be used as a standard technique for NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) or in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.

Highlights

  • The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, due to the Paris Agreement, the need for countries to achieve climate neutrality in the second half of the 21st century have resulted in modifications to structural components

  • The proposed new method for nondestructive testing of magnetic materials is somehow like those discussed in Section 1, the magnetic memory method

  • The average signals of the x and z magnetic field components were calculated for each sample

Summary

Introduction

The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, due to the Paris Agreement, the need for countries to achieve climate neutrality in the second half of the 21st century have resulted in modifications to structural components. One such change is the production of components with a reduced thickness or cross-sectional area. Carbon structural steels are the primary construction materials that have a specific chemical composition defined for these varieties, and are delivered in the form of sheets and other rolled products with fixed, typical cross-sections. The chemical composition of structural carbon steels is designed for their intended use. The EN 10025 standard defines the yield stress as a value at which irreversible plastic deformation of a rod with a diameter of 16 mm will occur
