Fundamentals of Magnetic Particle Inspection
Introduction to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) stands as a non-destructive technique employed to detectsurface & sub surface defects in ferrous components. This method proves to be both swift and comparatively straightforward in its application, with less...
Magnetic Field Generation
Magnetic Field Generation In the early nineteenth century, Hans Christian Oersted made a pivotal observation: an electric current coursing through a wire could alter the orientation of a nearby compass needle. This observation implied that the wire's electric current...
Magnetization Methods
Magnetization Methods Several techniques are available to create a magnetic field within a component to facilitate evaluation through magnetic particle inspection. These methods are often categorized into two main groups: direct and indirect magnetizing methods....
Magnetic Field Orientation and Flaw Detectability
Magnetic Field Orientation and Flaw Detectability To effectively examine a component for cracks or defects, it's crucial to recognize that the alignment between the magnetic lines of force and the flaw holds great significance. Two primary categories of magnetic...
Types of Currents for Magnetic Particle Inspection
Types of Currents for Magnetic Particle Inspection AC (Alternating Current) Alternating current oscillates in direction at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second. In India, a frequency of 50 cycles is standard. As AC is commonly available, it is a convenient choice...
Magnetic Field Evaluation Tools
Magnetic Field Evaluation Tools Ensuring adequate strength and correct orientation of a magnetic field is crucial during magnetic particle testing. Accurately measuring field intensity at a specific point within a material is challenging. To measure field strength,...
Demagnetization
Demagnetization Following a magnetic particle inspection, demagnetizing the component is often necessary. Residual magnetic fields can have various effects, such as causing metal shavings to cling to the component during machining, disrupting electronic devices like...
Multidirectional Magnetic Particle Testing
Multidirectional Magnetic Particle Testing Multi-directional magnetization is a special technique employed to identify defects in all orientations within a single examination. This stands in contrast to the combined magnetization shot utilized in traditional machines,...
Applications of Eddy Current Testing
Applications of Eddy Current Testing Eddy current testing is a non-destructive testing technique used for material testing, primarily to detect surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials. It operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction....
