Q

What Material would repel external magnetic forces?

A

Bismuth

In simpler terms, the magnetic field generated by bismuth when it’s placed near a magnet opposes the magnet’s field, causing them to repel each other. This property of bismuth is due to the way its electrons behave in the presence of a magnetic field, resulting in the material exhibiting diamagnetic behavior.

Q

True or False: Platinum is a paramagnetic material

A

False

Platinum is actually a diamagnetic material, not a paramagnetic one. Diamagnetic materials, like platinum, have a weak and opposite magnetic response to an applied magnetic field. This means they are slightly repelled by magnets. On the other hand, paramagnetic materials are weakly attracted to magnets, which is the opposite behavior.

A

Ultrasonic A-scan flaw detector

If the direction of flow of magnetic lines of flux was due north, which of these defects would not show?

A

A defect running due south

If the direction of flow of magnetic lines of flux was due north, a defect running due south would not show up. This is because defects aligned perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field will not disrupt the flow of magnetic lines and therefore will not produce a detectable indication.

A

The amount of flux lines per unit area

79

A

Alternating current field measurement

81
Q

For flooded member detection using ultrasonics, what frequency of probe would usually be selected?

A

0.5 MHZ

For flooded member detection, where higher penetration may be required to detect water ingress within structural members, the frequency might be lower to allow for deeper penetration. It’s common for FMD systems to use frequencies in the lower end of the ultrasonic range, sometimes around 200 kHz to 500 kHz.

500 kHz is equivalent to 0.5 MHz

b. Back wall is corroded
C. The back wall is not parallel
d. All of these options

84
Q

As magnetic lines of force travel further from the magnetic poles, they will?

A

Decrease in density

85
Q

CVI requires what cleaning standard?

86
Q

If exactly the same amount of magnetising force was applied to the following materials, which one would acquire the most flux density?

A

Nickel

Nickel acquires the most flux density when the same amount of magnetizing force is applied because it is a ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic materials, like nickel, iron, and cobalt, have a high magnetic permeability and a large positive magnetic susceptibility, which means they can become strongly magnetized when exposed to a magnetic field.
