Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for non-destructive determination of material characteristics of electrically conductive components by means of electromagnetic eddy current testing.
- crash tests In the automotive industry, light metals are increasingly being used to save weight.
- the structural components used in this case are regularly produced as aluminum castings. It is desirable to be able to easily and quickly assess these for their ductility / molding properties. So far, crash tests, bending angle tests, ductility testing by means of punch rivet tests and drop tower tests for test bodies have been used. All of these test methods have considerable disadvantages. Thus, the crash test is a destructive, extremely costly and time-consuming test method with often difficult statements and conclusions. The bending angle measurement is also destructive and does not allow a real examination of the material properties.
- the eddy current test As a non-destructive testing method for determining mechanical material properties of electrically conductive materials, the eddy current test is known. Here, the effect is used that most impurities and damage in an electrically conductive material also have a different electrical conductivity or a different permeability than the actual material.
- the object of the present invention is to replace the known destructive test methods in structural components made of cast iron.
- the term sample does not only mean cast samples, but also finished cast components, in particular structural components for vehicle construction.
- the development according to claim 3 increases the comparability of the measurement results.
- the method according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously for structural components, such as side members in motor vehicles, of an AISiMg alloy.
- Fig. 2 is a measurement display of a first alloy composition
- Fig. 3 is a measurement display of a second alloy composition.
- FIG. 1 shows a measurement display of a reference measurement on a measurement screen.
- This cast sample is subjected to the eddy current test in a manner known per se, the measuring sensor used being a high-resolution measuring coil tuned to the cast-specific conductivity.
- This measuring coil is moved with a variable distance, tilting back and forth over the casting sample, so that there is a changing magnetic field.
- the measured values generated in this way are clustered piles of dots which, as shown in FIG. 1, form a straight line 1 rising from left to right. This forms the reference straight line for the subsequent measurements.
- the gain of the measured values of the reference straight line 1 is set so that the straight line passes through the center 2 of the crosshairs of the display in FIG.
- Point clusters are again generated which form a straight line 3 and 4 in FIG. 2.
- it is a heat-treated alloy consisting of 0.2% by weight AISM OMnMg, with the cast sample on the basis of the measuring line 3 having a lower test temperature than that of the measuring line 4.
- the casting sample producing the measuring line 3 had the same test temperature as the reference sample. from that It can be seen that the cast sample from this AISil OMn alloy with 0.2 wt.% Mg has a better crash behavior than the reference sample.
- the result is the measuring straight line 4. From this, one could conclude that the ductility in the event of a crash has deteriorated compared with the sample generating the straight line 3, but this is actually due solely to the different test temperature of one and the same cast sample.
- FIG. 3 two more measuring lines 5 and 6 are shown. These are one cast sample each of a heat treated AISM OMn alloy containing 0.4 wt% Mg, with the casting sample that gave the measurement line 5 the same test temperature as the reference sample and the casting sample assigned to measurement line 3. From this it can be seen that the casting sample according to the measuring line 5 shows almost the same crash behavior as the reference sample, but a deteriorated behavior compared to the cast sample of the AISiMg alloy with 0.2 wt .-% Mg.
- An increased test temperature corresponding to the measuring line 6 does not change the material result, but rather the temperature-dependent measurement result in the direction of a deteriorated crash behavior.
