Use of Eddy-Current Method for Determining the Thickness of Induction-Hardened Layer in Cast Iron

Journal: Metal Science and Heat Treatment Publication date: 30 November 2013 Abstract: Cast iron with globular graphite is studied after surface induction hardening. Hardness profiles of iron bars are plotted for determining the thickness of the hardened layer. Relations between the thickness of the hardened layer and the output voltage are obtained by the method […]

Determination of presence of undesirable carbides at surface of cast iron parts using differential eddy current technique

Journal: Materials Science and Technology Publication date: 18 Nov 2013 Abstract: Machinability of grey cast iron parts can greatly suffer from the formation of carbide at the surface, resulting in a decrease in cutting tool life and higher production costs. Therefore, detection of the hardened layer and its hardness are the key factors in quality […]

Dual-Frequency Approach to Assess Surface Hardened Layer Using NDE Technology

Journal: Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance Publication date: 15 September 2012 Abstract: Inspection and quality control of induction hardened parts require a good understanding of the depth of the hardened layer. Traditional destructive methods to determine the case depth are considered to be costly and time-consuming. The eddy current (EC) technique is sensitive to […]
