“…Research is now being conducted in many scientific centres on methods that will enable the determination of the effect of cold plastic strain [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], mechanical fatigue [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], heat treatment [ 8 ], and creep [ 9 ] on the state and electromagnetic properties of austenitic steels. The applied diagnostic signals are the quantities describing the magnetic hysteresis loop, the eddy currents, the Barkhausen noise parameters, and the changes in the anisotropy of electromagnetic properties.…”
