Full-Text - Abstract

In the recent five years, the micromagnetic and ultrasonic techniques to evaluate stress states in components have been brought into a number of industrial applications. In order to meet the requirements, systematic investigations of the microstructural influences on the measuring quantities have been done, sensors have been optimized for specific applications and automated measuring systems have been made available for the easy use in industrial environments.

Besides the developments of the known investigators in the USA, Europe and Japan, a number of new groups from the East European Countries have been publishing their results and demonstrating their set-ups.

An comprehensive literature study and some meetings with international experts give the impression to the authors that the techniques have reach a state of maturity and applicability in process lines.

The contribution describes the state of the art with special emphasis on the applicability of the different set-ups, on the preassumptions made for the specific applications and on comparisons with the established techniques with regard to time requirements and, local resolutions and comparability of the results.
