The Use of Barkhausen Noise to Investigate Residual Stresses in Machined Components

  • Chapter
Applied Stress Analysis

Abstract

The evaluation of residual stress in this work is carried out by a magnetic method based on Barkhausen noise. Some suitable systems for the detection of Barkhausen noise are outlined. Methods of analysis of Barkhausen noise are discussed.

Commercially available equipment based on Barkhausen noise was used to evaluate the stresses in gear teeth after machining and after hardening. The effects of difference cutting techniques are discussed. A comparison with an X- ray diffraction method is made for gears which had been finished by grinding. Results for gear teeth finished by shot cleaning are discussed.
