Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately inspect the quality of direct quenched rod steel at a high speed by generating an eddy current in the direct quenched rod steel after quenching and measuring its impedance value, and comparing the impedance value with that of a master material which is already quenched. CONSTITUTION:The direct quenched rod steel 1 as a material to be inspected is carried by a roller table 2 and run through an inspection coil 3. Further, the master material 5 of desired quality is run through a master coil 4 separately. Further, the master material 5 uses a material of the same good quality with the direct quenched rod steel 1. Further, the inspection coil 3 and master coil 4 are connected to an eddy current device 6 by connecting lines l3 and l4. Then the eddy current device 6 generates as eddy current of specific frequency through the inspection coil 3 and master coil 4, and measures and compares the impedance values of the direct quenched rod steel 1 and master material 5 with each other to inspect the quality of the direct quenched rod steel 1. Thus, the direct quenched rod steel is compared with the master material, so a high-reliability measured value is obtained at a high speed.

, @, ◇, and × each indicate sample steels 81 to S5 in which the quenching conditions of directly quenched steel bar 1 are different, and those with multiple marks each indicate 5 samples of each sample steel 81 to S5.
The results are shown based on observations at several measurement points. Figure 4 also shows the phase (θ) and 1.5a from the surface of directly hardened steel bar 1.
It is a graph obtained by measuring the relationship between hardness (Hv) at point m. As is clear from Figures 3 and 4, each sample steel $1~S
The correlation between "y component-hardness" and "phase-hardness" of the indicated values in No. 5 shows a nearly linear relationship, and it can be seen that the quenching hardness can be determined from the indicated values in a fixed manner. This is mainly
This is due to the fact that the master material 5 is a hardened steel bar that has the same material and shape as the directly hardened steel bar 1, and that has already been hardened to the desired ideal quality (hardness 1 structure). It is thought that Therefore, it is desirable to use a master material 5 that meets the above-mentioned conditions as closely as possible. In addition, by making the material and shape of the master material 5 and the directly hardened steel bar 1 the same, the values indicated by the vortex device 6 are less susceptible to differences in the chemical composition and inner diameter of the directly hardened steel bar 1. It is also possible.
