    Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

    Uploaded by

    Syahmie Azree
    Magnetic particle testing (MT) is a popular non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. There are two main MT methods - using a stationary horizontal system that magnetizes parts longitudinally or circularly, and using a portable yoke that induces a longitudinal magnetic field. The yoke technique is the most common due to its low cost and portability. MT works by magnetizing a part and applying magnetic particles to its surface to reveal any discontinuities.

    Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

    Magnetic particle examination (MT) is a very popular, low-cost method to perform non-
    destructive testing (NDT) of ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic is defined in ASME
    Section V as “a term applied to materials that can be magnetized or strongly attracted by a
    magnetic field.” MT is an NDT method that checks for surface discontinuities but can also
    reveal discontinuities slightly below the surface.

    Method and Practices

    Two of the most-used methods are the stationary horizontal system, using longitudinal and
    circular magnetization techniques, and the very portable yoke technique.

     Stationary systems are generally used for smaller parts such as crank shafts and valve
    stems. They are often found indoors around machine shops and heat-treating facilities.
    Typically, they have a headstock and tailstock. Parts can be clamped between stocks
    for magnetization. There is also a coil placed around the part to magnetize it in the
    perpendicular direction. Stationary horizontal systems use the wet particle technique
    with a circulation tank below the equipment. 
     The MT yoke technique is the most portable and lowest-cost method, and therefore
    the most popular method.  Most yokes can operate in alternating current (AC) or
    direct current (DC) modes. DC gives the most penetration and is recommended if
    subsurface discontinuities need to be detected. AC is recommended if the surface is
    rough, because AC gives the particles more mobility than DC. A yoke has an electric
    coil in the unit creating a longitudinal magnetic field that transfers through the legs to
    the examined part.

    Specific parameter

    Induce a magnetic field in the specimen. Apply magnetic particles to the specimen’s surface.

    Parameter

    1. Magnetic particles
    2. Volumetric concentration of magnetic particles, %
    3. Saturation magnetisation
    Limitation

    Some typical examples of ASME Code-required inspections include, but are not limited to:
     Castings for surface defects
     Plates for laminations in corner joints when the edge of one plate is exposed and not
    fused into the weld joint
     Head spin hole plug welds
     Weld metal build-up on plates
     Areas where defects have been removed before weld repair
