摘要:
On the basis of a finding that a magnetic hysteresis of a metal material, among magnetization characteristics changing with secular degradation of the metal material, shows a clear correspondence with the degree of degradation of the metal material, a change in such a magnetization characteristic is measured to estimate the degree of secular degradation of the metal material. In a typical embodiment, a superconducting quantum interference device (33; 340) is used to detect the magnetization characteristic of a measuring object (1; 11). According to the present invention, the degree of embrittlement of a metal material used in an environment of high temperatures can be quickly detected in a non-destructive fashion so that the danger of brittle fracture of the metal material can be reliably prevented.
摘要:
A measurement system for material deterioration which can be used in the presence of a radiation source or radiation emitted therefrom at least comprises a detection circuit 1 containing a magnetic flux sensor using superconductor at least in some places, a signal processing circuit 2 at least including a semiconductor device to process the signal output from said detection circuit 1, and a signal transmitting means between said detection circuit 1 and said signal processing circuit 2, wherein said signal processing circuit 2 is installed at a place where the dose equivalent of radiation is equal to or smaller than that of said detection circuit 1.
