Abstract
This paper reports on Hall Effect measurements on nickel-base superalloys and their stress dependency. The work is motivated by the desire to develop a nondestructive method of characterizing the near-surface protective residual stress in metals. Our approach is based on the assumption that the Hall coefficient deviates under the stress. It is anticipated that stress measurements based on the Hall Effect are less contaminated by cold work and other effects than conductivity-based measurements such as eddy current. The paper focuses on the two superalloys, Inconel 718 and Inconel 600. The challenge is that Hall coefficients are small in metals, and the stress-induced changes are even smaller. To measure the small effect, the lock-in technique was used, with AC injected current and AC magnetic field. It was found that the Hall coefficients indeed vary proportionally to the stress. The proportionality coefficients are significantly larger than what are estimated from the volumetric effect in a free carrier gas model. The temperature and injected current dependences of the Hall coefficients were also measured, while no dependence on the magnetic flux density was observed.
