NEW METHOD OF TEXTURE AND ANISOTROPY ANALYSIS IN GO SIFE STEEL

It is possible, using thin film Permalloy MR sensors, to analyse the l ocal values of magnetic field strength for different directions of mag netising field. The sensor and the magnetising yoke are rotated and th e magnetic field is measured for arbitrary direction of magnetisation (with respect to the rolling direction). In this way the anisotropy of magnetic field strength and the inclination of local anisotropy axis can be determined. After statistical processing of the acquired data w e can analyse the texture of the tested sheet.
