IV Conferencia Panamericana de END Buenos Aires – Octubre 2007 NDE for Type 304L Stainless Steel Material Characterization Kenji Krzywosz EPRI NDE Center 1300 West WT Harris Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28262 USA Abstract This paper summarizes the results of applying the combined eddy current and magnetic NDE techniques to evaluate and assess the changing material conditions due to fatigue, including emergence of cracking, in Type 304 low carbon stainless steel plate samples. This on-going work is done to help identify and mitigate degraded materials with flaws in their incipient stages rather than later, when the flaws have grown to critical flaw dimensions. Two separate AC eddy current and DC magnetic field measurement systems were utilized during the fatigue testing of “dog-bone” shaped stainless steel plate samples. The acquired NDE data consisted of both the DC magnetic field measurements by Feritscope MP30 and the normalized eddy current coil impedance measurements by a Swept- Frequency Eddy Current Tester. Individual measurements by AC eddy current and DC magnetic field measurements provided complementary information about the changing material conditions prior to and after the cracks were formed. AC eddy current measurements relied on the association of changing coil impedance to material conductivity values due to fatigue cycling and emergence of fatigue cracks. DC magnetic field measurements detected increased permeability due to austenitic stainless steel changing from nonmagnetic to magnetic martensitic conditions with
