Magneto resistance sensors like GMR (giant magneto resistance) or TMR (tunnel magneto resistance) are widely used in industrial applications, examples are position measurement and read heads of hard disk drives. However, in case of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications these sensors, although their properties are outstanding like high spatial resolution, high field sensitivity, low cost and low energy consumption, never reached a technical transfer to an application beyond sci-entific scope.
This paper deals with benefits of GMR/TMR sensors in terms of high spatial resolution testing for different NDT applica-tions. The first example demonstrates the preeminent advantages of MR-elements compared with conventional coils used in eddy current testing (ET). The probe comprises one-wire excitation with an array of MR elements. This led to a better spatial resolution in terms of neighboring defects.
The second section concentrates on MFL-testing (magnetic flux leakage) with active field excitation during and before test-ing. The latter illustrated the capability of highly resolved crack detection of a crossed notch. This example is best suited to show the ability of tiny magnetic field sensors for magnetic material characterization of a sample surface. Another example is based on characterization of samples after tensile test. Here, no external field is applied. The magnetization is only changed due to external load and magnetostriction leading to a field signature which GMR sensors can resolve. This gives access to internal changes of the magnetization state of the sample under test.
Die Mikrostruktur ferromagnetischer Materialien hat einen maßgeblichen Einfluss auf deren magnetischen Eigenschaften. Gerade bei niedrigen Feldstärken zeigen sich Parameter wie Koerzitivität, Permeabilität und Verlustleistung hoch sensitiv.
Wir zeigen am Beispiel des unlegierten Baustahls S235JR, dass die magnetische Mikrostruktur an der Probenoberfläche in hohem Maße mit inhomogenen Dehnungen übereinstimmt. Zur Detektion der Kleinststreufelder verwenden wir speziell designte GMR Sensorik, die Sensitivität (3mV/V/kA/m) mit hoher Ortsauflösung (180 µm) vereint. Infolgedessen können wir auf eine aktive magnetische Anregung verzichten. Wir nutzen allein die sich durch magneto-mechanische Prozesse ausbildende „spontane“ magnetische Mikrostruktur des Materials.
Das hervorragende Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis unserer GMR-Sensorik für inhomogene Streufelder erlaubt, schon geringe und lokal abgegrenzte plastische Deformationen in Form und Position reproduzierbar zu visualisieren. Die zugehörigen Signale zeigen die typische Sequenz von erhöhten positiven und negativen Normalkomponenten wie sie bei einer Rissanzeige der aktiven Streuflussprüfung (MFL - Magnetic Flux Leakage) beobachtet wird. Magnetisch kann eine plastische Zone daher als Vorstufe eines Risses betrachtet werden, deren relative Permeabilität für den Riss als Grenzfall zu μr = 1 tendiert.
Characterization of residual stress state by neutron diffraction and residual magnetic field mapping
(2016)
Based on the residual stress characterization of tungsten inert gas welded S235JRC+C plates by means of neutron diffraction, the evaluation of residual stress with high spatial resolution GMR (giant magneto resistance) sensors is discussed. The experiments performed indicate a correlation of residual stress changes and local residual magnetic stray fields.
Austenitic stainless steels provide a beneficial combination of chemical and mechanical properties and have been used in a wide field of applications for over 100 years. Further improvement of the chemical and mechanical properties was achieved by alloying nitrogen. But the solubility of N within the melt is limited and can be increased in substituting Ni by Mn and melting under increased pressure. In order to avoid melting under pressure and decrease production costs, a part of N can also be substituted by C. This leads to austenitic high interstitial steels (AHIS). Within the solution annealed state strength and ductility of AHIS is comparable or even higher of those of AHNS and can be further improved by cold working. Unfortunately the endurance limit does not follow this trend as it is known from cold-worked austenitic CrNi steels. This is due to the differences of the slip behavior which is governed by the stacking fault energy as well as other near field effects. Construction components operating under cyclic loads over long periods of time cannot be considered being free of voids or even cracks. Thus the crack propagation behavior is of strong interest as well. This contribution presents the tensile, fatigue, crack propagation and fracture toughness properties of AHNS and AHIS in comparison to those of CrNi-steels. The differences are discussed in relation to microstructural characteristic as well as their alterations under cyclic loading.
Magneto-resistive (MR) sensor arrays are suited for high resolution eddy current testing (ET) of aerospace components due to two significant advantages compared to conventional coil systems. First, to obtain high spatial resolution they can be manufactured down to the µm-regime without losing their outstanding field sensitivity. Secondly, MR technology has a relatively frequency-independent sensitivity in the range of common ET-frequencies thus providing a benefit for low frequency applications.
This paper presents measurements using MR array probes consisting of 32 TMR-elements (tunnel magneto resistance), an ASIC, and subsequent readout components. A source for generating the eddy currents inside the material under test is also implemented onboard of the PCB. These probes were developed in the IMAGIC-project* for detection and imaging of surface breaking defects.
The performance of the new sensor system has been investigated for several mock-ups, Aluminum and Titanium plate specimens having small adjacent boreholes with diameter of 0.44 mm and micro notches in the µm-range, respectively. To compare our results we used conventional eddy current probes. The MR sensor elements have a length of around 60 µm leading to a nearly 'point like' measurement. Neighbouring boreholes (depth 0.25 mm) with a separation of 0.6 mm between their centres could be resolved with a good SNR, and more important, the boreholes could be confidently distinguished using the TMR-probes. In case of conventional probes a reliable separation was not possible. In this paper we present the MR-ET-probes of the IMAGIC consortium and a comparison with conventional techniques.
*The IMAGIC-project ('Integrated Magnetic imagery based on spIntronics Components', 2011 – 2014, project reference: 288381) was funded by the European Commission, Seventh Framework Programme. Further partners involved in the consortium beside BAM and CEA were INESC-ID and INESC-MN (Portugal), Sensitec GmbH (Germany), Tecnatom S.A. (Spain), and Airbus Group (France).
Die Messung spontaner magnetischer Streufelder ferromagnetischer Materialien wird als neue, Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) genannte, Methode der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ZfP) angesehen, Schädigungen frühzeitig vorherzusagen. Die MMM Methode versucht, die sich gleichzeitig mit der Schadensentwicklung ausbildende lokale magnetische Struktur für die ZfP zu nutzen und zwar schon vor der eigentlichen Rissinitiierung. Das zugehörige Regelwerk ISO 24497 verspricht neben der Detektion von Mikrorissen und Inhomogenitäten des Werkstoffgefüges auch die Bestimmung des (Eigen-) Spannungszustandes. Neue, an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung für die ZfP angepasste GMR (Giant Magneto Resistance)-Sensorik erlaubt Magnetfeldmessungen mit einer Ortsauflösung im Mikrometerbereich. Mit höherer Ortsauflösung zeigen sich Unterschiede, jedoch keine Widersprüche zu bisher publizierten Daten. Ihnen wesentlich ist, dass es einige verwertbare Hinweise auf einen Zusammenhang von Restfeldmagnetisierung und Materialeigenschaften gibt.
