Abstract The residual stray magnetic fields present in ferromagnetic casting slabs were investigated in this work, which result from the magnetic fields generated during the steel casting process. Existing optical detection methods face challenges owing to surface oxide scales, and conventional high-precision magnetic sensors are ineffective at high temperatures. To overcome these limitations, a small coil sensor was employed to measure the residual magnetism strength in oscillation traces, using metal magnetic memory and electromagnetic induction methods, which can carry out detection without an external excitation source. Using this technology, the proposed scheme successfully detects defects at high tempe-ratures (up to 670 ℃) without a cooling device. The key findings include the ability to detect both surface and near-surface defects, such as cracks and oscillation marks, with an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 7.2 dB after signal processing. The method's practicality was validated in a steel mill environment, where testing on casting slabs effectively detected defects, providing a foundation for improving industrial quality control. The proposed detection scheme offers a significant advancement in nondestructive testing (NDT) for high-temperature applications, contributing to more efficient and accurate monitoring of ferromagnetic material integrity.
