Recently, the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect found in amorphous wires has been noticed as a method for sensing a magnetic field. The GMI sensor was applied to nondestructive evaluation of microstructural changes for reactor pressure vessel steels passing through the refining process. They were measured by using a GMI sensor and the measured GMI signals were strongly influenced by the microstructural features. The signals are closely related to the grain size, carbide morphology, lath width, and lath boundary that act as a barrier to irreversible domain wall motion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
