Vf. Novikov et al., CHANGE IN THE MAGNETOSTRICTION OF CERTAIN STEELS DURING THE INITIAL-STAGES OF PLASTIC-DEFORMATION, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 32(5), 1996, pp. 418-422
A study is made of the magnetostriction of steels 09G2S, 171SU, 20N2M,
15KhSND, St3, and 15. The results confirm that the plastically deform
ed material contains oriented compressive stresses and explains the an
omalous increase seen in magnetoelastic sensitivity during mechanical
loading.
