Abstract

The relationship between eddy current response and case hardening depth has been studied on SM40C(KS D-3752) and SCM440(KS D-3711) steels which were surface hardened by high frequency induction hardening. The results obtained in this study were as follows ; 1) Case hardening depth was successfully measured by observing the eddy current impedance changes of each steel. The impedance decreased linearly with increasing case hardening depth. 2) For large impedance gradient between the hardened surface and core metal, the eddy current response was more sensitive to case hardening depth than for low impedance gradient.
