What is the magnetic particle test procedure

Question

Accepted Answer

Magnetic particle test is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials.

The test involves magnetizing the component, applying magnetic particles to the surface, and inspecting for indications of defects.
Defects such as cracks, laps, seams, and inclusions can be detected using this method.
The test can be performed using either dry magnetic powder or wet fluorescent magnetic particles.
It is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing to ensure the quality of components.
The procedure must be carried out by trained personnel following specific standards and guidelines.
