What is Magnetic Particle Inspection?
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. This technique is highly effective in identifying fine defects in castings, forgings, and welded assemblies.
How Does Magnetic Particle Inspection Testing Work?
Magnetic Particle Inspection involves generating an internal magnetic field within the component being tested. When flaws such as non-magnetic voids are present, the magnetic field is interrupted, creating a flux leakage field at the defect location. Magnetic particles, either in dry powder form or suspended in a liquid solution, are then dusted over the magnetized area. These particles are attracted to the leakage field, gathering around the defect and making it visible to the naked eye.
Benefits of Magnetic Particle Inspection
Cost-Effective
MPI is a cost-effective method for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferrous materials, making it an ideal choice for routine inspections and quality control.
High Sensitivity
This method is highly sensitive to fine defects and flaws, ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical components in various industries.
Versatile Application
Magnetic Particle Inspection can be applied to a wide range of ferromagnetic materials, including iron, nickel, and cobalt. It is particularly useful for inspecting castings, forgings, and welded assemblies.
On-Site and In-House Capabilities
Inspections can be conducted in our laboratory or on-site with the aid of electromagnets, providing flexibility to suit your specific needs.
