Abstract

This paper presents the results of ultrasonic and eddy-current measurements of the characteristics of austenitic stainless steel AISI 321 under fatigue failure. The effect of the strain amplitude on the intensity of changes in elastic and magnetic properties is studied. The use of a combination of eddy current and ultrasonic measurements makes it possible to assess the state of steel AISI 321 under fatigue failure is shown. The technique for measuring ultrasonic parameters described in this paper allows us to register changes in the structural state of a material under fatigue failure long before the crack is formed. The eddy current method is used to determine the volume fraction of martensite with ferromagnetic properties. An algorithm is proposed for estimating the number of loading cycles and the operating time of metastable austenitic steel AISI 321 based on the data of ultrasonic and eddy current measurements.
