Study Notes
Fundamentals of Magnetic Testing (MT)
-
Section Agenda: Covers right-hand rule, magnetization methods, magnetic field theory, magnetizing objects, domains, hysteresis/hysteresis loops, and permeability versus other properties.
-
Right-Hand Rule: The direction of lines of force is always perpendicular to the magnetizing current. Defects must be perpendicular to the lines of force for accurate detection.
-
Magnetization Methods: Two main methods are direct and indirect magnetization. Direct magnetization involves passing current through the part, while indirect magnetization involves bringing the part under the influence of a magnetic field.
Magnetizing an Object
-
Materials: Materials contain electrons behaving like tiny magnets with north and south poles.
-
Domains: Smallest permanent magnets composed of quadrillions of atoms, occupying an area roughly the size of a pinhead. Domains align in the direction of a magnetic field, contributing to the overall magnetization of a material.
-
Domains in Unmagnetized Materials: In unmagnetized materials, domains are randomly oriented, neutralizing each other. Applying a magnetizing force aligns domains, strengthening the overall magnetization.
Hysteresis
-
Definition: Hysteresis is the lagging of the magnetic effect when the magnetizing force changes.
-
Hysteresis Loop: The loop illustrates the relationship between the induced magnetic flux density (B) and magnetizing force (H).
-
Permeability vs. Other Properties: Low permeability materials have high reluctance and high retentivity. High permeability means low reluctance and low retentivity. High coercive force is required for removal in low permeability materials.
Permeability
- Values: Relative permeability values are listed for various magnetic materials, ranging from diamagnetic to ferromagnetic materials.
Section Agenda
-
Magnetic Poles: Regions of strongest magnetic field, North and South poles, and magnetic field lines travel from north to south.
-
Permanent Magnets: Made of "hard" ferromagnetic materials (alnico and ferrite) aligned by manufacture.
-
Material Classification: Ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic materials are categorized based on their magnetic properties.
-
Important Definitions: Ferromagnetic materials have high permeability, paramagnetic materials have slightly higher permeability than vacuum, and diamagnetic materials have permeability slightly below that of vacuum. These definitions are not all exhaustive or precise.
Magnetic Fields
-
Circular Fields: Circular fields are generated around electrical conductors with current, not directly detectable with standard instruments.
-
Longitudinal Fields: Longitudinal fields are created by current passing through a coil surrounding the object being tested. North and south poles formed in the object.
Defect Orientation
- Perpendicularity: Defects must be oriented perpendicular to the magnetic flux lines for best detection. Parallel defects may be missed
- Optimum vs Reduced Sensitivity: Optimum testing occurs when the defect is at a precise angle to the field lines
Magnetic Field Distribution
- Distribution Variations: Field strength varies across parts – highest at the surface and decreasing with distance.
Magnetizing Current Types
- AC: Alternating current (AC) changes direction; for surface defects.
- DC: Direct current (DC) is continuous; used for various testing objectives.
- Current Types: Different types include HWDC (Half-Wave DC), FWDC (Full-Wave DC), and other AC types.
