Why Choose Magnetic Particle Testing?
Effective Detection: MT is highly effective in identifying surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities, including cracks, seams, and inclusions, ensuring the integrity of your materials.
Immediate Results: The method provides real-time indications of defects, allowing for prompt decision-making and corrective actions.
Versatility: MT can be applied to various sizes and shapes of ferromagnetic materials, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Cost-Effective: Compared to other nondestructive testing methods, MT is relatively inexpensive and requires minimal surface preparation.
Our Magnetic Particle Testing Process
Surface Preparation: We clean the test surface to remove any contaminants that could interfere with the inspection.
Magnetization: The component is magnetized using appropriate techniques to establish a magnetic field within the material.
Application of Magnetic Particles: Finely milled iron particles, either dry or suspended in a liquid, are applied to the surface. These particles accumulate at areas with flux leakage, indicating potential defects.
Inspection: Our certified inspectors examine the component under suitable lighting conditions to identify and evaluate any indications.
Demagnetization and Cleaning: After inspection, the component is demagnetized and cleaned to remove any residual particles.
