MagStar: A Portable Magnetic Hysteresis and Barkhausen Emissions based Electromagnetic Device for Non-Destructive Evaluation of Steel Structure/Component
| 1. | Title of Product/Design/Equipment. | MagStar: A Portable Magnetic Hysteresis and Barkhausen Emissions based Electromagnetic Device for Non-Destructive Evaluation of Steel Structure/Component |  |
| 2. | IPR Status Patent/Abroad IPR Details | Patent Application No: 2545DEL2006 | |
| 3. | Application/Uses | NDE | |
| 4. | Salient Technical Feature including Competing Feature | The developed electromagnetic NDE device works by exciting the sensor by an alternating current source. The sensor is to be placed on test body to get signal corresponding to the characteristics of the test objects. The output signals from the sensor are the measure of the magnetization, coercivity and magnetic noise (Barkhausen emissions) which change with microstructure and stress state of the materials | |
| 5. | Level/Scale of Development | Portable Laboratory based device and scope for automation for in-service operation | |
| 6. | Environmental Consideration | Not Applicable | |
| 7. | Status of Commercialization | Licensed for manufacturing to M/s Technofour, Pune, on non-exclusive basis | |
| 8. | Major Raw Material to be Utilized | Electronic components. Soft magnetic core materials | |
| 9. | Major Raw Plant Equipment and Machinery Required | Sensing probe, power source, amplifier, Data acquisition & analysis system | |
| 10. | Techno-Economics | Cost: Rs. 20 Lakh/unit. Additional Sensor: Rs. 2.0 Lakhs/unit | |
| 11. | Technology Package | Details of equipment, (b) Operating Manual and (c) Quality Assurance Methods | |
