Applications of Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Magnetic particle inspections work by running a magnetic current through the material that is being inspected.

 

When the current is interrupted by a discontinuity; magnetic flux lines change direction to follow the easiest path (same as when an stream of river is diverted and goes around a blockade), indicating its presence by re-arrangement of magnetic particles that follow the magnetic flux lines; therefore allowing inspectors to identify its location in the material.

 

ADVANTAGES OF MT

  • It is quick and relatively uncomplicated.
  • It gives immediate indications of defects.
  • It shows surface and near surface defects, and these are the most serious ones as they concentrate stresses.
  • The method can be adapted for site or workshop use.
  • It is inexpensive compared to radiography.
  • Large or small objects can be examined.
  • Elaborate pre-cleaning is not necessary.

 

LIMITATIONS OF MT

  • It is restricted to ferromagnetic materials – usually iron and steel, and cannot be used on austenitic stainless steel.
  • It is messy.
  • Most methods need a supply of electricity.
  • It is sometimes unclear whether the magnetic field is sufficiently strong to give good indications.
  • The method cannot be used if a thick paint coating is present
  • Spurious, or non-relevant indications, are probable, and thus interpretation is a skilled task.
  • Some of the paints and particle suspension fluids can give a fume or fire problem, particularly in a confined space.

I cannot fault TIS for the service they have provided, I enjoyed that you can go at your own pace when life becomes hectic or press on when the time was available, this was a great benefit for myself with a busy work schedule.

I have taken a couple of classroom training but this e-learning course is the best by far with much more relevant information and practice questions; at the end being more thorough than is normal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks
