Abstract
Carburization treatment with large case hardening depth is a technical process to enhance steel parts' surface hardness and wear resistance. Accurate evaluation of this metallurgical treatment is crucial to prevent critical mechanical failures. Low-frequency magnetic incremental permeability (LF-MIP) emerges as a non-destructive surface technique well-suited for this purpose in the case of ferromagnetic parts. Although correlations between magnetic indicators obtained through LF-MIP characterization and deep carburization treatment have been demonstrated, they remain qualitative. In this study, we propose an innovative method to assess the entire hardness profile based on LF-MIP characterization. Experimental results and simulation data are integrated into a reference chart used for post-processing, enabling the prediction of hardness profiles for specimens in a blind test. With a relative Euclidean distance of less than 6 % between the method's predictions and destructive tests conducted on specimens treated with medium, deep, and intense intensities, we consider the method validated.
期刊介绍:
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
