Abstract

Measuring temperatures during high-temperature processing of steels is usually limited to surface measurements that cannot directly assess the internal temperature distribution. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of using a magnetic flux density measurement system to assess transient and non-homogeneous temperature fields in a modern high-strength steel, within the intercritical temperature range where microstructural evolution defines their key mechanical properties. The system accurately detects the Curie temperature and distinguishes temperature change rates within the processed volume. The magnetic measurements are also sensitive to the volume above Curie temperature and its shape, as revealed when integrated with thermal computational simulations. The electromagnetic signal provides real-time qualitative and quantitative information relevant to the metallurgical conditions enabling future intelligent control systems for the production and processing of steels. Contactless measurements of temperature-dependent electromagnetic properties can enable through-thickness temperature monitoring solutions, opening up opportunities for non-destructive full-field imaging of steels during thermal and thermomechanical processing.
