3.17 BARKHAUSEN NOISE/MICROMAGNETIC TESTING<br />

The Barkhausen noise/micromagnetic testing method characterizes and<br />

determines the amount of residual stress in magnetic materials by measuring<br />

Barkhausen noise (BN). BN measuring instruments measure positive and<br />

negative stress units in N/mm 2 , ksi, or relative magnetoelastic parameter (MP)<br />

units. MP units over the range of 0 to 140 correspond to a stress range of<br />

about -650 to +450N/mm 2 .Tensile stresses are positive and compressive<br />

stresses are negative.<br />
