This paper reports the use of a non-destructive continuous magnetic Barkhausen noise technique to detect applied stress on steel surfaces. The stress profile generated in a sample of 1070 steel subjected to a three-point bending test is analyzed. The influence of different parameters such as pickup coil type, scanner speed, applied magnetic field and frequency band analyzed on the effectiveness of the technique is investigated. A moving smoothing window based on a second-order statistical moment is used to analyze the time signal. The findings show that the technique can be used to detect applied stress profiles
