Magnetic Particle Inspection LEVEL I (MT1) 

This technique introduces magnetic fields into a ferromagnetic material. Surface or sub-surface flaws generate magnetic flux leakage fields, which can be detected using ferromagnetic particles attracted to the leakage site.

Course Content
  • Magnetic fields in and around magnets
  • Principles of magnetism
  • Limitations of magnetism in the various metals, i.e. paramagnetic, diamagnetic and ferromagnetic.
  • Flux leakage fields, when used for inspection purposes and flaw detection, Magnetic hysteresis of various metals, advantages and disadvantages of the magnetic particle method.
  • Generation of magnetic fields in materials using electrical current flow; AC and DC yokes, transformer power packs, test benches.
  • Permanent magnets.
  • Magnetic field and intensity measuring and detection using Hall gauges, field strength meters and flux indicators.
  • Inspection using fluorescent and visible contrast particles (wet and dry).
  • Illumination for inspection, white light and ultraviolet energy.
  • Practical exercises.
  • Reporting and procedures.
  • End-of-course examinations.
