Extract

Nondestructive evaluation of steels is both an important engineering need and a scientific challenge. Recent advances include a SQUID imaging technique that is capable of detecting small changes in stray fields at reasonable spatial resolution. The technique is motivated by the fact that the stray fields, determined by the underlying domain configurations in the material, would provide insight into the microstructure including defects, provided the interactions between the microstructure and the domain walls can be well understood.Initial work is being carried out on 1018 low-carbon steels, plastically deformed in a controlled fashion, with the goal of correlating SQUID images with magnetic domain images measured by Lorentz microscopy in a TEM.

Experiments were carried out in a CM200 FEG TEM using the OL field in low-mag (LM) mode, based on a procedure described by Verbist et al [1] and Daykin et al [2].
