download PDFAbstract. In this study, residual stresses and micromagnetic parameters were analyzed with a Barkhausen-Noise-Eddy-Current-Microscope which allows the analysis of local micromagnetic properties with high resolution down to 20 µm. 42CrMo4 steel samples with varying initial microstructure and subjected to different thermal and mechanical surface treatments were investigated. In particular, shot peening and induction hardening were used to generate different distributions of microstructural and residual stress modifications. Calibration strategies were developed using standard methods as X-ray diffraction measurements and metallographic examinations. The results show that a quantitative evaluation of residual stress distribution can be possible, even in regions with high gradients when proper measurement and calibration strategy is used. With this method, large areas with thousands of measurement positions can be analyzed very fast and thus open new possibilities in the investigation of local residual stress distribution of components.
