Abstract
The Barkhausen noise (BN) analysis is a method increasingly used for the post-process assessment of thermo-mechanical surface damages from grinding and has several advantages compared with the established nital etching method. In-process measurement of the BN has not been used industrially yet, but the basics have already been developed and promise time savings by avoiding time spent on inspections after grinding. Furthermore, it bears potential for the optimization of grinding processes and, in perspective, a process control. In the present work, the suitability of in-process BN analysis for the detection of thermo-mechanically influenced near-surface regions was assessed. Case-hardened workpieces were ground, and BN signals were related to the properties of the surface and subsurface area, in particular residual stresses, microstructure and surface hardness after grinding. The results show a clear dependency of BN on surface layer properties that allows for an in-process detection of detrimental changes in the surface state. Special attention was paid to the differences between in-process and post-process measured signals, and the suitability of the different measurement parameters for in-process detection was investigated.
