The influence of residual stress on the hysteresis properties of mild steel is studied in detail. Magnetic measurements were done in different directions to investigate the stress-induced anisotropy. The hysteresis loops measured in any fixed direction at different levels of deformation crossed at two points known as the coincident points. One possible explanation of this effect is proposed and it makes an assumption about the stress-induced term in the effective field model. Loops measured in different directions at any fixed level of deformation also crossed at two points. It was found that the hysteresis loop follows a very simple formula when changing the direction of the measurement from the easy axis to the hard one. This explained not only the crossing of these loops at the two points but also the results of measurements on ring-shaped samples where all the directions are possible.
The Preisach model formalism has been applied to analyse
hysteresis measurement results for evaluating fatigue damage in Fe-C alloys
caused by cyclic fatigue loading. Hysteresis loops and differential
permeability curves were measured at various stages of the fatigue life of
the samples. The parameters which were built by means of the PMF and the
classical hysteresis magnetic parameters (such as saturation magnetization,
coercive field and others) were studied as a function of the fatigue
lifetime. The present results show that the Preisach model analysis can be
used to improve the sensitivity of magnetic hysteresis measurements for
non-destructive evaluation of the accumulation of fatigue damage in steel
components.
The influence of an applied compressive stress on the hysteresis curve and domain structure in conventional (1 1 0) [0 0 1] Fe–3%Si steel cut transverse to the rolling direction is studied. Quasistatic hysteresis loops under compressive stress up to 75 MPa were measured. The magnetic domains and magnetization processes were observed by longitudinal Kerr microscopy at different levels of stress. It is shown that the bulk hysteresis loop can be described with a good accuracy by the action of an effective field, which is the product of the stress and a function of magnetization. Domain observations have shown that the reasons for the effective field are demagnetizing fields due to the disappearance of supplementary domains along [0 1 0] and [1 0 0] at low fields and different domain systems in different grains at moderate fields. The latter are caused by differences in grain sensitivity to stress depending on the degree of misorientation. A decrease in the effective field above 1 T is connected with a transformation of all grains into the same domain system—the column pattern.
