Magnetic quantities are derived to determine the variations of the martensite and retained austenite content observed up to 2 mm in depth to the laser treated surface. Conversion x-ray-Mössbauer measurements in backscattering technique (CXMS) are performed to get an exact phase analysis, including information about phase formation. The magnetic and Mössbauer results are compared in connection with Vickers hardness and metallographic data.enbackscattering techniquehardening depthincremental permeabilitylaser hardeningmagnetic Barkhausen noiseMössbauernondestructive testingphase determinationretained austenite620658670conference paper
