standards establish the following methods as adequate for the
inspection of surface-breaking defects, according to specific
guidelines: • Magnetic particle testing (MT) • Liquid penetrant testing (PT) • Eddy current testing (ECT) • Eddy current array (ECA)
Magnetic Particle Inspection
MPI’s working principle is to magnetize (directly or indirectly)
the part under test and then applying a wet suspension or dry ferrous particles on it (typically iron oxide). The presence of a surface or subsurface discontinuity in the part under test allows the magnetic flux to leak because air does not support as much magnetic field per unit volume as metal. If a flux leakage area is present, the ferrous particles are attracted to it and they build up forming an indication.
