“…Recently, magnetoacoustic emission (MAE) techniques have received great attention in NDT for their high sensitivity to properties of ferromagnetic materials [13]. MAE refers to the acoustic emission generated during the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials [14,15], and it has been used to evaluate the mechanical properties of ferromagnetic materials, such as surface hardness [16,17], elastic deformation [18,19], plastic deformation [20][21][22], creep damage [23,24], and fatigue degree [25,26]. Due to the detection ability and generation mechanism of MAE being closely related, experiments have been widely performed to speculate on the generation mechanism of MAE.…”
