The influence of an elastic uniaxial deformation of a medium-carbon steel on its magnetostriction in the longitudinal and transverse directions

In order to reveal the role of magnetostriction in the formation of a magnetic texture that appears in steels during their elastic deformation, the influence of stresses during uniaxial loading on the behavior of several magnetic characteristics of medium-carbon steel 45 was investigated. The magnetic parameters were measured under the conditions of a closed magnetic circuit with the application of attachable transducers along and across the direction of the applied load. The results of measurements of the hysteresis and magnetostriction properties of the investigated steel were compared. The magnetic parameters that monotonically change with an increase in the applied stresses were established.
