Influence of Heat Treatment on the Magnetic Properties of Some Armor Plate Steels of the "N-A-X" and "STS" Types

Abstract

A magnetic investigation has been made on some armor-plate steels of the "N-A-X" and "STS" types which were subjected to various conditions of heat treatment. Such magnetic properties as maximum permeability, remanence, coercive force, and hysteresis losses were found to be greatly influenced by heat treatment. The magnetic qualities of these steels were observed to be more sensitive to changes at higher than at lower hardness values. However, no significant differences in magnetic properties can be claimed between the "N-A-X" or "STS" steels.
