Complete Guide to Magnetic Particle Inspection for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT MT)
Introduction
Magnetic Particle Inspection is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT MT) technique that allows for the detection of surface and sub-surface imperfections in ferromagnetic materials. This method is fast, efficient, and can be implemented using various types of equipment, including portable and mobile MPI systems.
Operating Principle
The core of the MT inspection method involves inducing a magnetic field into the test piece. The field can be created by different means, such as a battery-powered electromagnet or a magnetic particle inspection clamp. Material discontinuities disrupt this field, attracting magnetic particles from a colored or fluorescent indicator product to form visual indications.
Magnetization
The test piece can be magnetized by several methods, including:
- Direct contact magnetization with electrodes
- Coil wrapping around the piece
- Bench magnetization
- …
Indications
Indications are generally made visible using liquids containing magnetic particles, which may be colored or fluorescent.
Applications
MPI is regularly used for NDT MT inspections across several industries, including:
- Aerospace
- Shipbuilding
- Automotive
- Petrochemical Industry
- Civil Engineering
Advantages
- Rapid and efficient detection of surface and sub-surface defects
- Applicability to complex geometric shapes
- Easy implementation of inspections
- Comprehensive method
Limitations
- Applicable only to ferromagnetic materials
