Magnetic Particle Inspection MT Flashcards
And inspection method in which an initial magnetizing force is applied to a part and then reduce to a lower continuous value was called
Surge method
The term used to refer to the total opposition to flow of current represented by the combined effect of resistance, inductance, and capacitance of a circuit is
Impedance
Discontinuities in plate , sheet or strip caused by internal fissures, inclusions, or blow holes in the original ingot which after rolling, are usually flat and parallel to the outside surface are called
Laminations
The cumulation of particles at a site on the part surface, collected at and held to the site by the magnetic leakage field, is called
An indication
The leakage field strength is controlled by
The materials permeability, the depth and width of the discontinuity and the relative strength of the applied magnetic flux
Primarily a qualitative inspection, detecting changes in volume
Magnetic flux leakage - tank floor scanning, in line inspection of pipelines, wire rope, coil tubing and rail inspections
Relatively thin coating of paint or plating on the surface can cause a surface crack to appear as
Broad and fuzzy
When matters is place within an external magnetic field, the magnetic moments of that material’s electrons maybe reorientated. When this occurs the material produces its own macroscopic magnetic field this is known as
Faraday’s Law of magnetic induction
Any material with a negative relative permeability that is slightly less than one is
Diamagnetic - Mercury gold bismuth and zinc
When the internal magnetic field of a material is aligned in the same direction as the applied external field, and the material has a small positive suspect ability and a positive relative permeability that is slightly more than one the material is called
Paramagnetic- aluminum platinum copper sulfate and wood
When the internal magnetic field of the material is aligned in the same direction as the applied external field, and the material has a high positive suspect ability and a high positive permeability that is much greater than one, the material is called
Ferromagnetic
When an electric current is passed through the part the part is the conductor of the electric current and a circling magnetic field is established both within the inside and outside the conductor
Direct magnetization
Magnetism that results when a ferromagnetic material is influenced by an external field. Devices such as central conductors, coil’s, and yokes
Indirect magnetization
Coil where the length is greater than the diameter
Solenoids
Term used to refer to the total opposition to flow of current represented by the combined effect of resistance, inductance, and capacitance of a circuit
Impedance
Lines of force that form a path around the crack in a ring magnet
Magnetic lines

When magnetic material reaches its curie temperature, the material becomes
Paramagnetic

Most common wattage of mercury vapor bulbs florescent MT exams

Amp turns L/D, yoke, coil around part are all types of this field
Longitudinal
Prods, central conductor, headshot, passing current directly through part or all types of this field
Circular
The field established in a part when it is placed next to a conductor carrying a current, which should be avoided
Parallel magnetization
Useful when orientation of discontinuities are unknown (proper sequence) magnetize, apply particles, shut off current, and inspect
Multidirectional magnetization
Produced by simultaneously imposing two magnetizing forces in two directions where one is stronger than the other upon a magnetizable article
Vector field
N*I =
N= number of turns I = current (amps)
45,000/(L/D)
Advantage to demagnetize a part
