MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
 Magnetic particle inspection is a nondestructive inspection method that provides detection of
linear flaws located at or near the surface of ferromagnetic materials.
 It is viewed primarily as a surface examination method.

Live animation of the process.


BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE PROCESS:
 This method involves the magnetization of an area to be examined and the application of
ferromagnetic particles to the surface.  The particles gather at areas of magnetic flux leakage
and form indications characteristic of the type of discontinuity detected.
 Maximum sensitivity is achieved when linear discontinuities are oriented perpendicular to the
lines of flux.

 Application of magnetic particles
 Viewing
 Marking of defects
 Demagnetization
 Removal of ink from component
SEQUENCE OF THE PROCESS:

 The component to be tested is cleaned first.

Reason:
 Oil or grease presence disturb the process and prevent the attraction of
magnetic particle to leakage field.
 Contamination also interfere with interpretation of indications.

Pre-cleaning process
 After cleaning , the specimen can be magnetized directly or indirectly.
 Direct magnetization occurs when electric current is passed directly
through specimen.

Direct magnetization

In indirect magnetization, magnetic field is applied is applied using a strong external magnetic
field without passing current.

Indirect magnetization
 Indirect magnetization can be performed using permanent magnets or electromagnets.
 Usage of electro magnets are more preferable over the permanent magnets.
 Reason: Due to lack of control of the field strength and the difficulty of placing and removing
strong permanent magnets from the component.
 Electromagnet consists of coil of wires through which current is supplied to produce magnetic
field.
 Magnetic flux created, is used to detect flaws in specimen.

ELECTROMAGNET
 Flux lines running along the surface will deviate from the path, if it approaches a crack.

Animation of flux deviations in the process

 Fine magnetic particles are applied to surface of specimen for visible indication of cracks.
 These fine magnetic particles are attracted to are of flux deviation creating a visible indication
of flaw.
ADVANTAGES VS DISADVANTAGES OF THE PROCESS

ADVANTAGES
The process is quick and mostly not complicated, so
DISADVANTAGES
It can only be used for ferromagnetic materials.
moderate skill is required.

The results are immediate. The process could be very messy.

The surface must be clean, but not as much critical Need a mandatory current supply.
as dye penetrant inspection.

Process is portable.so, it can be used in work shops Most of the time, paint will have to be removed
and sites. prior to inspection.

It is an inexpensive method. Demagnetization and post cleaning is sometimes a


requirement.

Small or large items can be inspected very quickly. Magnetic field can damage other instruments.
