Abstract

The possibility of testing the hardness of quenched and tempered medium-carbon steels using their magnetic properties is studied. It is shown that the two-parameter method should be applied for the reliable estimation of the hardness. The coercive return magnetization (induction) and the coercive force must be used as the basic and subsidiary parameters of testing, respectively. It is established that the content of carbon in steel influences the sensitivity of testing. It is shown that the suggested magnetic hardness testing method can be practically implemented with the use of the modernized SIMTEST-2.10 system.
