The demand for efficient combustion in boilers drives the development of ultra-supercritical power plants. P92 steel pressure, and pipelines operate in high-temperature and high-pressure environments and are prone to high-temperature creep damage. Non-destructive testing is a key method to ensure the safety of the pipe. However, existing non-destructive testing methods are difficult to achieve non-destructive detection of creep damage. Creep damage affects magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) and magneto-acoustic emission (MAE) signals; therefore, it is possible to evaluate creep damage using these signals. This article first establishes a theoretical model for MBN and MAE. Afterward, the influence of magnetizing waveform, amplitude, and frequency on MBN and MAE signals was studied through experiments. Finally, by analyzing the characteristics of MBN and MAE signals, the optimal magnetization conditions and signal characteristic parameters for detecting creep damage using MBN and MAE signals were determined. The experimental results also confirmed the correctness of the theoretical model.
