In the past decade, metal magnetic memory (MMM) technique according to ISO 24497 is gaining considerable interest in the magnetic NDT community. In contrast to traditional Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) testing, the inspection objects are not intentionally magnetized by an external magnetic field. Due to physical coupling between mechanical stress and magnetization in ferromagnetic materials, it is assumed that the distribution of the “natural” MFL (self-magnetic-leakage field, SMLF) indicate zones of different remanent magnetization, which in turn, correspond to the internal stress of specimen or in the most general sense to material degradation. Usually, MMM measurements are performed by relatively bulky magnetic inspection sensors providing a spatial resolution in millimetre range. High precision GMR (Giant Magneto Resistance) measurements in the micrometer regime along with image based representation and evaluation can provide a higher degree of information. We present a concise summary of a broader research project aimed at studying the correlation of magnetic structure and microstructure of steels. Particularly, we compare residual stress measurements in S235JR steel by means of neutron diffraction with high resolution magnetic field measurements. In addition, we discuss the influence of deformation-induced magnetization in plastically deformed specimens with and without notches due to various quasi-static and cyclic load levels. Furthermore, comparative measurements with common non-destructive testing methods are presented. Despite of a quantitative evaluation of material degradation, the in the field inspection by MMM remains problematic due to substantial influences on such as external magnetization, anisotropy of internal magnetization and material degradation, as well as geometry and surface effects of the inspection objects on SMFL signals. The prospects and restrictions of the MMM technique are discussed in this contribution.

Large longitudinal residual stresses with maxima around 600 MPa were found. With these results as reference, the evaluation of residual stress with high spatial resolution GMR (giant magneto resistance) sensors was discussed. The experiments performed indicate a correlation between changes in residual stresses (ND) and the normal component of local residual magnetic stray fields (GMR). Spatial variations in the magnetic field strength perpendicular to the welds are in the order of the magnetic field of the earth.

The residual stress distributions of tungsten inert gas welded plates were determined by means of neutron diffraction as a reference. The normal component of local residual magnetic stray fields arise in the vicinity of the positions of maximum stress. The experiments performed on flat tensile specimen indicate that the boundaries of plastic deformations are a source of stray fields. The spatial variations of magnetic stray fields for both the weld and the tensile samples are in the order of the earths magnetic field.

Optical microscopy revealed variation in the microstructure of the parent material, in the heat affected and fusion zones, correlating with distinctive changes in the local magnetic stray fields measured with high spatial resolution giant magneto resistance sensors. In the vicinity of the heat affected zone high residual stresses were found using neutron diffraction. Notably, the gradients of von Mises stress and triaxial magnetic stray field modulus follow the same tendency transverse to the weld. In contrast, micro-X-ray fluorescence characterization indicated that local changes in element composition had no independent effect on magnetic stray fields.
