Study Notes
Magnetic Particle Inspection
- Definition: Magnetic particle is a nondestructive examination method used for locating surface and near-surface discontinuities.
- Ferromagnetic Materials: Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted by a magnet and can be magnetized.
- Permeability: Permeability describes the ease with which a material can be magnetized.
- Retentivity: Retentivity describes a material's ability to retain a magnetic field.
- Different Colors: Magnetic particles are available in different colors for contrast with the part's surface to enhance indication detection.
- Magnetizable Materials: Iron, nickel, and cobalt can be magnetized.
- Magnetic Field Strength: The magnetic field is strongest when magnetizing current is flowing, and when the material exhibits high coercive forces.
- Cracks: Cracks in a magnet cause leakage fields, which pull magnetic particles.
- Flux Density: Flux density is measured in gauss units.
Magnetic Lines of Force
- Paths: Magnetic lines of force follow the path of least resistance.
- Directionality: The lines never cross and are most dense at the poles.
- Discontinuities: Parallel lines indicate no discontinuity, while non-parallel lines indicate a discontinuity.
Magnetic Particle Inspection Principles
- Disassembly: Disassembling parts before inspection enhances visibility of all surface areas.
- Types of Fields: Residual fields are most difficult to demagnetize, while longitudinal fields are the most sensitive.
- Current Types: Alternating current (AC) is the most effective at highlighting surface indications.
- Visualization Techniques: Methods like wet and dry methods, and the use of prods, all have various applications.
- Sensitivity: Continuous method provides better sensitivity than residual when locating sub-surface discontinuities.
- False Indications: False indications can occur due to magnetic particle attraction, either mechanically or gravitationally.
- Magnetic Particle Techniques: Methods such as magnetic particle testing with DC or AC currents have various advantages.
Other Important Terms and Concepts
- Curie Temperature: The temperature at which a material loses its ferromagnetic properties, usually through heat treatment.
- Residual Magnetism: The magnetic field remaining in a material after the magnetizing field is removed.
- Hysteresis Curve: A graph that shows the relationship between magnetizing force and the resulting magnetic field strength within a material.
