Level 1 Theory Flashcards
Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt are what
Materials that magnetic particle inspection can be performed on
Reluctance
The opposition that a ferromagnetic material shows to the establishment of a magnetic field
What are several advantages over liquid penetrant inspection that Magnetic particle inspection has
Components with thin coatings can be inspected without removing the coating and can be inspected more rapidly
A hysteresis loop
Shows the relationship between the Induced magnetic flux density and the magnetizing force
Residual magnetism
The magnetic flux density that remains in the material when the magnetizing force is zero
Domains
Small polarized regions that make up Ferromagnetic materials
What never cross each other
Magnetic lines of force
A material with a wider hysteresis loop has
Lower permeability Higher retentivity Higher coercivity
What forms closed loops from pole to pole
Magnetic lines of force
Direct current
type of current flows continuously in one direction at a constant voltage
What is a circular field
A magnetic field induced by a current carrying conductor
What is A magnetic pole
A location where a magnetic field can be detected exiting or entering a material
What is sometimes restricted to use for potential of arcing that could damage parts
Prods
When testing parts with magnetic particles, it is best to magnetize the part how
In two directions at right angles to each other
Why are all materials affected in some way by a magnetic field
Because all matter is composed of atoms
When does the best detection of defects occur
When the lines of magnetic force are perpendicular to the longest dimension of the defect
What is A magnetic field
A volume of space where there is a change in magnetic energy
When is a material considered demagnetized
When its residual magnetic field measures less than 3 gauss
A material with a Higher permeability has a what
A narrower hysteresis loop
Components generally must be demagnetized because residual magnetism can what
Increase wear by attracting abrasive particles, Affect machining and welding processes, or Interfere with near by electronic components
