Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
A gear with case-hardened ground teeth and hub ends is MT tested Individual indications are detected on five teeth and one end surface of the hub The indications do not break over the part edges. What is the probable identity of the indication?
Grinding cracks
A prime consideration when selecting a powder to be used as a magnetic particle medium is to select a powder that:
PROVIDES A HIGH CONTRAST TO THE SURFACE BEING TESTED
A rough forging discontinuity has the following characteristics:
1. Can occur on the surface or internally.
2. Is associated with low temperature processing.
3. Is often caused by excessive working.
4. Creates cavities varying in size.
How would it be identified
Burst
Cold working indications will not reappear if the part is:
retested after stress relieving.
External poles which are too strong to permit good inspection of a part are more likely to result when using:
Longitudinal Magnetization.
Half wave rectified AC (HWDC) is used for detection of:
Surface and Subsurface Defects.
If a copper conductor is placed through a ferrous cylinder and a current is passed through the conductor, then the magnetic field (flux density) in the cylinder will be:
greater than in the conductor.
If one-inch and two-inch diameter bars were magnetized by passing the same current through them, the magnetic fields would be:
STRONGER IN THE ONE-INCH DIAMETER BAR.
Of the following discontinuity categories, which one is considered most detrimental to the service life of an item?
Cracks open to the surface
Since the magnetic lines of force within a bar magnet run the length of the bar, it is said to be:
Longitudinally Magnetized
The length of a part being magnetized by passing an electric current from one end to the other:
does not affect the strength of the magnetic field
The most common failure mechanism associated with sharp fillets, notches, undercuts, and seams is:
Fatigue Cracking.
When it is believed that a defect has been removed by chipping, grinding, or flame cutting, the next operation is to
RE-EXAMINE THE AREA BY MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING
Which of the following can cause non- relevant magnetic particle indications?
1. JOINTS BETWEEN DISSIMILAR METALS
2. BRAZED JOINTS
3. ROUGHING TOOL CUTS ON SURFACE
Which one of the following is not a discontinuity common to rolled products?
COLD SHUTS
A break in the magnetic uniformity of a part that is called a magnetic discontinuity is related to a sudden
change in:
Permeability
A coil around the part produces:
a Longitudinal Field
A coil shot is required to be performed after a head shot using the wet continuous method In order to properly conduct the coil shot it is necessary to:
1. Place the part in the coil and continue the inspection
2. After Evaluating the Head Shot Indications
A curve is sometimes drawn to show graphically the relation of the magnetizing force to the strength of the magnetic field produced in a certain material. This curve is known as the:
HYSTERESIS CURVE
a defect commonly associated with the welding process is
Lack of penetration
A defect open to the surface produces
an indication which is:
SHARP AND DISTINCT
A desirable property of magnetic particles used for the inspection medium for either the dry or wet method is that they:
1. BE NON-TOXIC
2. POSSESS HIGH PERMEABILITY
3. POSSESS LOW RETENTIVITY
A gear with case-hardened ground teeth and hub ends is MT tested Individual indications are detected on five teeth and one end surface of the hub The indications do not break over the part edges. What is the probable identity of the indication?
Grinding cracks
A general rule to use for determining the detectability of surface discontinuities by magnetic particle inspection is that:
THE DEPTH SHOULD BE AT LEAST FIVE TIMES THE WIDTH OF THE OPENING OF THE DEFECT AT THE SURFACE.
A large forging is repaired by welding. Magnetic particle inspection of the repair weld reveals an irregular indication running parallel with the weld passes. It is located near the center of the bead and starts and ends by turning off slightly from the axial direction. This indication is indicative of:
WELD SHRINKAGE CRACKS
A longitudinal surface crack in a circularly magnetized part will cause:
A MAGNETIC LEAKAGE FIELD
A magnetic particle build-up from a discontinuity is strongest when the discontinuity is oriented:
90 degrees to the magnetic field
A metal that is difficult to magnetize is said to have:
low permeability.
A part is adaptable to magnetic particle inspection if:
the material is ferromagnetic
A prime consideration when selecting a powder to be used as a magnetic particle medium is to select a powder that:
provides a HIGH CONTRAST to the surface being tested
A rough forging that has received no further processing is magnetic particle teste An indication is observed to run in every direction. It appears to extend deeply into the part and perpendicular to the surface. It is very sharp. What is the probable identity of the indication?
Forging burst
A specimen may be demagnetized by which of the following methods?
1. Heat Treatment above curie temperature
2. AC coil
3. Reversing DC fields
Alternating current (AC) can be used to demagnetize a magnet and involves passing through AC through a coil placed near the magnet.
The AC current generates a magnetic field that cancels out the magnetic field of the magnet, which demagnetizes it.
An electric current through a copper wire:
Creates a Magnetic Field around the wire.
An electrical yoke produces:
a LONGITUDINAL field
An example of a irrelevant indication that would be classed as a magnetic irregularity rather than an actual discontinuity could be caused by:
AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN THE HARDNESS OF PART.
An interruption in the normal physical structure or configuration of a part which produces an MT indication is called:
a DISCONTINUITY
Applying the theory of the “Right Hand Rule,” a longitudinal surface defect in a round bar is detected by “current passing in a direction parallel to the direction of expected defects” because:
the magnetic field is at
(RIGHT ANGLES) to the defect.
What TERM is used to describe the reverse magnetizing force necessary to remove the residual magnetism in a material?
COERCIVE FORCE
Comparing parts that have been circularly magnetized and those which have been longitudinally magnetized, which retains the most objectionable residual field if not demagnetized?
LONGITUDINAL
Most of the time its going to be (Longitudinal)
Comparing parts that have been circularly magnetized and those which have been longitudinally magnetized, which retains the most objectionable residual field if not demagnetized?

Demagnetization may be accomplished by ?
By HEATING a material above its Curie Point

it will kill my rare earth magnets if I leave it on a VERY-HOT pipe too long
Demagnetization:
may be easy or difficult depending on the type of material.
THE TERM used to describe materials that have a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields is ?
DIAMAGNETIC
I remember that by thinking (DIE)-Magnetic or dead Most elements in the periodic table, including copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic.
Discontinuities in PLATE, SHEET, OR STRIP caused by pipe, inclusions, or blowholes in the original ingot which after rolling are usually flat and parallel to the outside surface are called:
LAMINATIONS.
External poles which are too strong to permit good inspection of a part are more likely to result when using:
LONGITUDINAL magnetization.

Forging laps occur in what relation to the axial direction of a part?
MAY OCCUR ANYWHERE ON SURFACE AND MAY BEAR NO RELATION TO AXIAL DIRECTION OF THE PART
If a crack exists in a circular magnet, the attraction of magnetic particles to the crack is caused by:
a leakage field
If a current is passed through an
electrical conductor, what will surround the conductor?
a Magnetic Field
If a current of the same amperage is passed through two conductors of the same dimensions, one of which is magnetic and one of which is nonmagnetic, the magnetic field surrounding the conductors will:
be the same for both conductors.
If an overall pattern (sometimes circular lines) appears on the test surfaces, how should the inspector reprocess the test piece?
RETEST AT LOWER AMPERAGE
If wet magnetic particle suspension is not uniform, then:
1. the strength of an indication may vary
2. the interpretation of the indication may be erroneous.

In magnetic particle inspection, it is best to:
make sure that parts meet specified acceptance criteria
In order to detect defects in different directions in a material by magnetic particle inspection, it is best to use:
two or more fields in different directions.
Inspecting a part by magnetizing, removing the current flow, then applying the medium is called the:
RESIDUAL METHOD
