Non-Destructive Investigation of Microstructural Transformations and Mechanical Hardening by Electromagnetic Techniques in Cold-Rolled Ferritic-Pearlitic Steel Wire of Flexible Pip... by Samille Kricia B. de Lima, Juan Manuel Pardal, Leosdan Figueredo Noris, Rodrigo de Carvalho P. Loureiro, Hamilton Ferreira G. de Abreu

“…The results show that with increasing strain, the MBN peak amplitude decreases (95.0%), the energy required to reach magnetic saturation increases (23.2%), and the electrical resistivity increases (41.6%). The variation of these signs indicates an increase in structural heterogeneities, such as elongation of cementite lamellae, increase in dislocation density, and non-homogeneous stress field distribution, which increase the area of sites fixation of magnetic domains and decrease the flow of free electrons. …”
