This was found on a web site.

"The main effect of the treatment is to produce a hard, highly strained martensitic layer which, unlike the ferrite/pearlite, is unable to support the 90° domain wall motion that generates MAE. Hence, MAE measurements can be used to measure the case depth on-line".

Can anyone explain what "MAE" is?
 
MAE is an acronym for MagnetoAcoustic Emission. This is also known as Barkhausen Effect. You can use these terms to perform an Internet search for more detailed information.
