Popis: The purpose of this investigation is to develop the nondestructive tools for microstructure assessments in carbon alloyed steels. The role of carbon in steel and its effects on electromagnetic property and also the free electron model have been reviewed. The fundamental electromagnetic principle behind low frequency impedance measurements has been included. The systematic analysis of phonon vibration and ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy for elastic wave perturbation in T22 Cr-Mo steel has been presented. A brief examination of nondestructive microstructure evaluation techniques has been described. The induced microstructure variations in Grade T22 Cr-Mo steel, including the correlations of changes in physical (microstructure) and mechanical (hardness data) properties during annealing have been measured. The explanations of aged carbide precipitates, martensitic and pearlitic nucleation and growth have been illustrated. The possibility of simultaneous use of two nondestructive wave techniques is discussed. The electron model and electron interactions are associated and are shown to support the results of low frequency impedance measurements enhanced elastic wave perturbations.
