APPLICATIONS OF MAGNETOMETRIC SENSORS BASED ON AMORPHOUS MATERIALS IN DIAGNOSTICS OF WIRE ROPES

The study explores potential applications of magnetometric sensors based on amorphous materials in diagnostics of wire ropes without external magnetic fields. Ready availability of magneto-impedance technology makes it suitable for innovative sensor applications, to register magnetic anomalies arising in wire ropes. These anomalies are associated with wire deformations and cracking, including cracks which do no generate air gaps encountered in compact ropes widely operated in hoisting installations in mines.
