  • Method for the contactless determination of a mechanical-technological characteristic variable of ferromagnetic metals, and also apparatus for said method
    Patent number: 11604166
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining a mechanical-technological characteristic variable of ferromagnetic metals, preferably ferromagnetic steels, and in particular fine-grained steels, which are used in pipelines. A magnetization apparatus, which has at least one permanent magnet or solenoid, magnetizes the metal which is to be determined, and a sensor apparatus comprising a transmission coil generates a magnetic field which interacts with the magnetic field which is generated by the magnetization apparatus in the metal, and which generates an eddy current. The eddy current is generated in the magnetically at least substantially saturated metal, and the eddy current is measured by an eddy current sensor of the sensor apparatus.
