Minor loops were measured with increasing magnetic field amplitude, step by step, and were analyzed in connection with the rolling reduction. We found that minor-loop coefficients deduced from relations between minor-loop parameters increase with increasing rolling reduction and have a simple relationship with both mechanical properties, Vickers hardness, and DBTT. We also found that these coefficients have a linear relation with coercive force obtained by the major loop. The present analysis method using minor loops is highly effective for nondestructive evaluation of ductile-brittle transition, in terms of the high sensitivity to lattice defects as well as low measurement field.}, pages = {113908-1--113908-6}, title = {Relationship between mechanical and magnetic properties in cold rolled low carbon steel}, volume = {100}, year = {2006} }
