Abstract

The mechanism and experimental arrangement by which magnetic contrast can be observed from materials of cubic anisotropy are indicated. Transformer alloy Fe-3.2Si is used as an example to illustrate the effects of tensile strain, magnetic field switching, residual stress, and inclusions on magnetic structure.

Keywords:
scanning electron microscopy, iron alloys, magnetic domains, silicon containing alloys, strains, residual stress, magnetic fields
