MATERIALS
FERROMAGNETIC DIAMAGNETIC PARAMAGNETIC
1.FERROMAGNETIC:-Those materials which can be strongly magnetized
and are suitable for MPT (MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING).
Example: Iron, Nickel, Cobalt alloys & precipitation hardening steels (17-
4PH)
 These materials are not magnetized in direct proportion to the applied
magnetizing force.
Beyond the saturation point, part cannot be further magnetized.
 have a large, positive susceptibility to an external magnetic
field.
 Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons so
their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their
strong magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic
domains.
 In these domains, large numbers of atom's moments are
aligned parallel so that the magnetic force within the domain
is strong (this happens during the solidification of the
material where the atom moments are aligned within each
crystal ”i.e., grain” causing a strong magnetic force in one
direction).
2.DIAMAGNETIC:-
 Those materials which are feebly repelled by strong
magnet.
 In diamagnetic materials all the electrons are paired so
there is no permanent net magnetic moment per atom.
Example: Most elements in the periodic table, including
copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic.
3.PARAMAGNETIC:-
 Those materials which can be magnetized but weakly.
Example: Oxygen, magnesium, molybdenum, and lithium.

SOME DEFINATIONS…
• MAGNETIC LINES OF FLUX:
 The magnetic lines of forces existing in a magnetic field is
called magnetic flux.
 The lines of flux ran through the magnets from south to
north, exiting the north pole and re entering the south pole.
 The lines of flux formed closed loops that never crossed.
RELUCTANCE:
 It is the resistance of material to the establishment of a
magnetic field.
 The reluctance of material determines the magnitude of flux
produced.
PERMEABILITY:
 It is the ability of material to permit the magnetization.
 Numerically it can be expressed as B/H.
where, B=Flux Density
H=Magnetizing Force
HYSTERESIS CURVE FOR FERROMAGNETIC MATERIALS
 When ferromagnetic parts are subjected to a magnetizing current, magnetic
domains tend to align themselves in the direction of the magnetic field.
 After the magnetizing force is removed, many of the domains remain aligned in
the magnetized direction until a magnetic force in the opposite direction causes
them to return to their original random state.
 The force required to return the magnetic domains to their random orientation is
known as the coercive force.
METHODS OF GENERATING MAGNETIC FIELD
Direct Magnetization
Clamping the component
between two electrical
contacts
Clamps or Prods
Indirect Magnetization
Permanent Magnets
Central Conductor
Electromagnets
coils and solenoids
DIRECT MAGNETIZATION
 With direct magnetization, current is passed directly
through the component.
 The flow of current causes a circular magnetic field
to form in and around the conductor.
 When using the direct magnetization method, care
must be taken to ensure that good electrical contact
is established and maintained between the test
equipment and the test component to avoid damage
of the component (due to arcing or overheating at
high resistance points).
1. CLAMPING THE COMPONENT BETWEEN TWO
ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
 One way involves clamping the component between two
electrical contacts in a special piece of equipment.
 Current is passed through the component and a circular
magnetic field is established in and around the component.
 When the magnetizing current is stopped, a residual
magnetic field will remain within the component.
 The strength of the induced magnetic field is proportional
to the amount of current passed through the component.
Unit 4 magnetic particle testing
2. CLAMPS OR PRODS
 A second technique involves using clamps or prods,
which are attached or placed in contact with the
component.
 Electrical current flows through the component from
contact to contact.
 The current sets up a circular magnetic field around the
path of the current.
INDIRECT MAGNETIZATION
Indirect magnetization is accomplished by
using a strong external magnetic field to
establish a magnetic field within the component.
As with direct magnetization, there are several
ways that indirect magnetization can be
accomplished.
1.PERMANENT MAGNETS:-
 The use of permanent magnets is a low cost method
of establishing a magnetic field.
 However, their use is limited due to lack of control of
the field strength and the difficulty of placing and

2.ELECTROMAGNET:-
 Electromagnets in the form of an adjustable horseshoe magnet
(called a yoke) eliminate the problems associated with
permanent magnets and are used extensively in industry.
 Electromagnets only exhibit a magnetic flux when electric
current is flowing around the soft iron core.
 When the magnet is placed on the component, a magnetic field
is established between the north and south poles of the
magnet.
3.CENTRAL CONDUCTOR:-
 Another way of indirectly inducting a magnetic field in a material
is by using the magnetic field of a current carrying conductor.
 A circular magnetic field can be established in cylindrical
components by using a central conductor.
 Typically, one or more cylindrical components are hung from a
solid copper bar running through the inside diameter.
 Current is passed through the copper bar and the resulting
circular magnetic field establishes a magnetic field within the
4. COIL & SOLENOIDS:-
When the length of a
component is several times
larger than its diameter, a
longitudinal magnetic field
can be established in the
component.
The component is placed
longitudinally in the
concentrated magnetic field
that fills the center of a coil or
solenoid.
This magnetization
technique is often referred to
as a "coil shot".
MAGNETIC FIELDS DISTRIBUTION AND INTENSITY
1. LONGITUDINAL FIELD:-
 When a long component is magnetized using a solenoid
having a shorter length, only the material within the
solenoid and about the same length on each side of the
solenoid will be strongly magnetized.
 This occurs because the magnetizing force diminishes with
increasing distance from the solenoid.
2. CIRCULAR FIELDS:-
 When a circular magnetic field is forms in and
around a conductor due to the passage of electric
current through it.
 Right hand thumb rule for direction of magnetic field.
DEMAGNETIZATION
After conducting a magnetic particle inspection, it is
usually necessary to demagnetize the component.
Magnetic fields can:
 affect machining by causing cuttings to cling to a
component.
 Interfere with electronic equipment such as a
compass.
 Create a condition known as "arc blow" in the welding
process. Arc blow may cause the weld arc to wonder
or filler metal to be repelled from the weld.
 Cause abrasive particles to cling to bearing or faying
surfaces and increase wear.
REMOVAL OF A FIELD MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED
IN SEVERAL WAYS….
 By heating the material above its curie temperature (for
instance, the curie temperature for a low carbon steel is
770°C).
 When steel is heated above its curie temperature then it is
cooled back down, the orientation of the magnetic
domains of the individual grains will become randomized
again and thus the component will contain no residual
magnetic field.
 Subjecting the component to a reversing and decreasing
magnetic field will return the dipoles to a nearly random
orientation throughout the material.
 This can be accomplished by pulling a component out and
MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING
 Magnetic particle testing is one of the most widely
utilized NDT methods since it is fast and relatively
easy to apply and part surface preparation is not as
critical as it is for some other methods.
 This method uses magnetic fields and small
magnetic particles (i.e. iron) to detect flaws in
components.
 The component being inspected must be made of a
ferromagnetic material (a materials that can be
magnetized) such as iron, nickel, cobalt, or some of
their alloys.
 Underwater inspection is another area where
magnetic particle inspection may be used to test items
such as offshore structures and underwater pipelines.
BASIC PRINCIPLE:-
 It can be considered as a combination of two
nondestructive testing methods: magnetic flux leakage
testing and visual testing.
 For the case of a bar magnet, the magnetic field is in and
around the magnet. Any place that a magnetic line of force
exits or enters the magnet is called a “pole” (magnetic
lines of force exit the magnet from north pole and enter
from the south pole).
 When a bar magnet is broken in the center of its length,
two complete bar magnets with magnetic poles on each
end of each piece will result.
 If the magnet is just cracked but not broken completely in
two, a north and south pole will form at each edge of the
crack.
 The magnetic field exits the north pole and reenters at the
south pole. The magnetic field spreads out when it
encounters the small air gap created by the crack
because the air cannot support as much magnetic field per
unit volume as the magnet can.
 When the field spreads out, it appears to leak out of
the material and, thus is called a flux leakage field.
 If iron particles are sprinkled on a cracked magnet, the
particles will be attracted to and cluster not only at the
poles at the ends of the magnet, but also at the poles
at the edges of the crack. This cluster of particles is
much easier to see than the actual crack and this is
the basis for magnetic particle inspection.

APPLICATION OF MAGNETIC PARTICLES
MAGNETIZATION
INITIAL DEMAGNETIZATON
SURFACE PREPARATION
1. SURFACE PREPARATION:
 Loose rust & scale removed from part in order to
contamination of ink.
 The paint should be removed locally to provide adequate
contact areas for current flow.
2. INITIAL DEMAGNETIZATION:
 Components which have been machined on magnetic chucks
OR handled near the magnetic field , has some residual
magnetisms
 So for avoid false indication always demagnetize the
component before testing.
3. MAGNETIZATION:
 Direct or indirect method of magnetization can be used
(already discussed)
4. APPLICATION OF MAGNETIC PARTICLES:
 The metal used for the particles has high magnetic
permeability and low retentivity.
 High magnetic permeability is important because it makes the
particles attract easily to small magnetic leakage fields from
discontinuities, such as flaws.
 Low retentivity is important because the particles themselves
never become strongly magnetized so they do not stick to
each other or the surface of the part.
On the basis of carrying agent, it is of two types.
a.)WET METHOD:
 The particles used are suspended in oil or liquid and obtained
in form of thick paste or powder.
 generally more sensitive than the dry because
the suspension provides the particles with more
mobility and makes it possible for smaller particles
to be used (the particles are typically 10 μm and
smaller) since dust and adherence to surface
contamination is reduced or eliminated.
b.)DRY METHOD:
 Dry magnetic particle products are produced
to include a range of particle sizes.
 The fine particles have a diameter of about
50 μm while the course particles have a diameter
of 150 μm (fine particles are more than 20 times
lighter than the coarse particles).
 Dry particle inspection is well suited for the
inspections conducted on rough surfaces.
 Dry particle inspection is also used to detect
shallow subsurface cracks.
5.VIEWING:
Magnetic particles Source of illumination
Black or red paste or powder Day light
Fluroscent paste or powder Black light
7. MARKING OF DEFECTS:
 All indication should be marked after allowing the
magnetic particles (ink) to drain.
8. DEMAGNETIZATION:
 Used already discussed any method for demagnetization.
