Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) distribution for three configurations of samples has been investigated in order to study the influence of notch and plastic deformation separately as well as together. Samples have been made of S355 steel. The MFL signal measurements were carried out along the longest dimension of the sample over a length of 120 mm. Two components of magnetic field were measured: 1) tangential to the main axis and 2) normal to the largest surface of the sample. Study has shown that geometrical effect, related to the notch presence, as well as plastic deformation with associated compressive macroresidual stresses, together are responsible for the specific MFL distribution above the sample. In order to confirm the assumption that the decrease of the permeability in the central part of the sample and the change of cross section are the main sources of the MFL anomaly, disrupting flux from demagnetization field, a series of simulations has been made. Simulation results coincide with those obtained experimentally and thus confirming the above hypothesis.
