Abstract:
With the alteration of frequency of the alternating magnetic field,the tendencies of magneto-plasticity and magnetostriction in the welding seam of QSTE420 steel were studied.Based on the experimental results,the relationship between magneto-plasticity and magnetostriction was interpreted.The results show that as the frequency of magnetic field decrease,the magneto-plasticity in welding seam of QSTE420 steel became more remarkable,but the strain magnitude caused by magnetostriction gradually dropped.It could be concluded that magnetostriction can not be the main cause of micro plasticity.
