This guide describesmagnetic particle testing techniques that are recommended fora great variety of sizes and shapes of ferromagnetic materialsand widely varying examination requirements. Since there aremany acceptable differences in both procedure and techniqu

Summary of Guide4.1 PrincipleThe magnetic particle method is based onestablishing a magnetic field with high f

25、lux density in aferromagnetic material. The flux lines must spread out whenthey pass through non-ferromagnetic material such as air in adiscontinuity or an inclusion. Because flux lines can not cross,this spreading action may force some of the flux lines out of thematerial (flux leakage). Flux leaka

26、ge is also caused by reduc-tion in ferromagnetic material (cross-sectional change), a sharpdimensional change, or the end of the part. If the flux leakageis strong enough, fine magnetic particles will be held in placeand an accumulation of particles will be visible under theproper lighting condition

27、s. While there are variations in themagnetic particle method, they all are dependent on thisprinciple, that magnetic particles will be retained at thelocations of magnetic flux leakage. The amount of flux leakageat discontinuities depends primarily on the following factors;flux density in the materi

28、al, and size, orientation, and proximityto the surface of a discontinuity. With longitudinal fields, all ofthe flux lines must complete their loops though air and anexcessively strong magnetic field may interfere with examina-tion near the flux entry and exit points due to the highflux-density prese

29、nt at these points.4.2 MethodWhile this practice permits and describesmany variables in equipment, materials, and procedures, thereare three steps essential to the method:4.2.1 The part must be magnetized.4.2.2 Magnetic particles of the type designated in thecontract/purchase order/specification sho

30、uld be applied whilethe part is magnetized or immediately thereafter.4.2.3 Any accumulation of magnetic particles must beobserved, interpreted, and evaluated.4.3 Magnetization:4.3.1 Ways to MagnetizeA ferromagnetic material can bemagnetized either by passing an electric current through thematerial o

31、r by placing the material within a magnetic fieldoriginated by an external source. The entire mass or a portionof the mass can be magnetized as dictated by size andequipment capacity or need.As previously noted, in order to bedetectable, the discontinuity must interrupt the normal path ofthe magneti

When thatsame disco

35、ntinuity is below the surface, flux leakage evidenton the surface will be a lesser value.4.3.2 Field DirectionIf a discontinuity is oriented parallelto the magnetic field lines, it may be essentially undetectable.Therefore, since discontinuities may occur in any orientation, itmay be necessary to ma

36、gnetize the part or the area of interesttwice or more sequentially in different directions by the samemethod or a combination of different methods (see Section 13)to induce magnetic field lines in a suitable direction in whichto perform an adequate examination.4.3.3 Field StrengthThe magnetic field

37、must be of suffi-cient strength to indicate those discontinuities which areunacceptable, yet must not be so strong that an excess of localparticle accumulation masks relevant indications (see Section14).4.4 Types of Magnetic Particles and Their UseThere arevarious types of magnetic particles availab

38、le for use in mag-netic particle testing. They are available as dry powders(fluorescent and nonfluorescent) ready for use as supplied (see8.4), powder concentrates (fluorescent and nonfluorescent) fordispersion in water or suspending in light petroleum distillates(see 8.5), magnetic slurries/paints

39、(see 8.5.7), and magneticpolymer dispersions (see 8.5.8).4.5 Evaluation of IndicationsWhen the material to beexamined has been properly magnetized, the magnetic particleshave been properly applied, and the excess particles properlyremoved, there will be accumulations of magnetic particlesremaining a

40、t the points of flux leakage. These accumulationsshow the distortion of the magnetic field and are calledindications. Without disturbing the particles, the indicationsmust be examined, classified, compared with the acceptancestandards, and a decision made concerning the disposition ofthe material th

41、at contains the indication.4.6 Typical Magnetic Particle Indications:4.6.1 Surface DiscontinuitiesSurface discontinuities, withfew exceptions, produce sharp, distinct patterns (see AnnexA1).4.6.2 Near-surface discontinuitiesNear-surface disconti-nuities produce less distinct indications than those o

42、pen to thesurface. The patterns tend to be broad, rather than sharp, andthe particles are less tightly held (see Annex A1).5. Significance and Use5.1 The magnetic particle method of nondestructive testingindicates the presence of surface and near-surface discontinui-ties in materials that can be mag

43、netized (ferromagnetic). Thismethod can be used for production examination of parts/components or structures and for field applications whereportability of equipment and accessibility to the area to beexamined are factors. The ability of the method to find smalldiscontinuities can be enhanced by usi

44、ng fluorescent particlessuspended in a suitable vehicle and by introducing a magneticfield of the proper strength whose orientation is as close aspossible to 90 to the direction of the suspected discontinuity(see 4.3.2). A smoother surface or a pulsed current improvesmobility of the magnetic particl

45、es under the influence of themagnetic field to collect on the surface where magnetic fluxleakage occurs.6. Equipment6.1 TypesThere are a number of types of equipmentavailable for magnetizing ferromagnetic parts and components.With the exception of a permanent magnet, all equipmentrequires a power so

46、urce capable of delivering the requiredcurrent levels to produce the magnetic field. The current useddictates the sizes of cables and the capability of relays,switching contacts, meters and rectifier if the power source isalternating current.6.2 PortabilityPortability, which includes the ability toh

47、and carry the equipment, can be obtained from yokes,portable coils with power supplies, and capacitor dischargepower supplies with cables. Generally, portable coils providehigh magnetizing forces by using higher numbers of turns tocompensate for their lower current flow. Capacitor dischargeunits use

48、 high current storage capacity and provide these highcurrent levels for only a very short duration.6.3 YokesYokes are usually C-shaped electromagnetswhich induce a magnetic field between the poles (legs) and areused for local magnetization (Fig. 1). Many portable yokesFIG. 1 Yoke Method of Part Magn

49、etizationE709083have articulated legs (poles) that allow the legs to be adjustedto contact irregular surfaces or two surfaces that join at anangle.6.3.1 Permanent MagnetsPermanent magnets are avail-able but their use may be restricted for many applications. Thisrestriction may be due to application impracticality, or due tothe specifications governing the examination. Permanent mag-nets can lose their magnetic field generating capacity by beingpartially demagnetized by a stronger flux field, being damaged,or dropped. In addition, the particle mobility created by AC
