RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Mičietová, Anna A1 Neslušan, Miroslav A1 Čilliková, Mária A1 Kolařík, Kamil T1 Barkhausen Noise Emission of Surfaces after Plasma Beam Machining JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2016 VO 16 IS 1 SP 178 OP 183 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2016/a/1213-2489/MT/16/1/178 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201601-0037.php AB This paper deals with analysis of surface integrity of steel after plasma beam machining (PBM). The paper discusses surface integrity expressed in term of rms values of Barkhausen noise and reports about variables affecting Barkhausen noise emission such as plasma current, nozzle distance, thickness of machined surface and feed speed. The paper demonstrates variable degree of surface hardening due to elevated temperatures and the following rapid cooling. Except magnetic investigation of surface also stress state and structure observation are reported.
