Q & A
What is magnetic particle inspection?
-Magnetic particle inspection is a non-destructive testing method used to detect near surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.
How does the magnetic particle examination work?
-The examination works by magnetizing a ferromagnetic workpiece and applying a suspension of magnetic particles onto the test piece. The particles are attracted to areas of leakage fields caused by defects, indicating their presence.
What is the role of the electromagnet in the testing process?
-The electromagnet is used to magnetize the test piece, creating a magnetic field that helps in revealing defects through the application of magnetic particles.
Why are magnetic particles used in the inspection process?
-Magnetic particles are used because they are attracted to areas where the magnetic field lines leak due to defects, thus highlighting the presence of these defects.
How can defects be made more visible during the inspection?
-Defects can be made more visible by using a pigment that covers the magnetic particles and fluoresces under ultraviolet light, allowing for better detection even in daylight.
What is the significance of the magnetic field lines in the inspection process?
-Magnetic field lines are crucial as they must be perpendicular or at a certain angle to the defect to create a leakage field that attracts the magnetic particles and reveals the defect.
What is the purpose of using ultraviolet light during the inspection?
-Ultraviolet light is used to enhance the visibility of the magnetic particles that fluoresce, making it easier to detect defects, especially those not open to the surface.
Why is it necessary to magnetize the sample more than once?
-Magnetizing the sample more than once, at different angles, helps to ensure that all near surface cracks are detected, as defects oriented differently may not be visible with a single magnetization direction.
What is the current flow method mentioned in the script?
-The current flow method involves passing a high electric current through the sample to generate a circular magnetic field, which aids in detecting cracks oriented in a different direction than the initial magnetization.
What are fatigue cracks and how are they formed?
-Fatigue cracks are defects that form during the operation of mechanical components, such as gear wheels, due to repeated stress cycles, often as a result of a mismatch between interacting components.
How does the magnetic particle inspection help in quality control for manufactured parts?
-Magnetic particle inspection helps in quality control by detecting cracks and other defects in manufactured parts, ensuring that they meet the required safety and performance standards before they are used.

🧲 Magnetic Particle Inspection Overview
This paragraph introduces the magnetic particle inspection as a method for detecting near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. The video demonstrates the basic principle and practical steps involved in the process. The procedure begins with placing the test piece between the poles of an electromagnet, followed by the application of a magnetic particle suspension. Upon activation of the electromagnet, the magnetic particles are attracted to areas of leakage fields caused by defects, such as cracks, clustering around them. The use of pigments that fluoresce under ultraviolet light enhances the visibility of these defects. The importance of the magnetic field's orientation relative to the defect for effective detection is also highlighted.

Highlights
Magnetic particle inspection is a non-destructive testing method for detecting near surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.
The procedure involves using an electromagnet to magnetize the test piece and applying a suspension of magnetic particles.
Defects are indicated by the clustering of magnetic particles around them due to leakage fields.
Magnetic field lines must be perpendicular or at a certain angle to the defect for effective detection.
A pigment is used in the suspension that fluoresces under ultraviolet light, enhancing defect visibility.
The method can detect cracks that are not open to the surface but are just below it, provided they are close enough.
To ensure detection of all near surface cracks, the sample must be magnetized in different directions.
The current flow method is used to generate a circular magnetic field for detecting cracks in a different orientation.
The tested sample, a hardened sliding guide, shows cracks formed during the hardening and grinding process.
Another test piece, a section of a large gear wheel, is inspected for cracks using the same magnetic particle inspection procedure.
Fatigue cracks in the gear wheel are visible under ultraviolet light, indicating operational wear due to gear wheel mismatch.
The basic principle of the method is to magnetize the ferromagnetic workpiece parallel to its surface.
If the workpiece is defect-free, magnetic field lines run within and parallel to the workpiece surface.
Magnetic inhomogeneity, such as near cracks, causes the magnetic field lines to locally leave the surface, creating a leakage field.
The magnetic particles in the suspension run off at defect-free areas but cluster at leakage fields, indicating defects.
The method works best when using pigmented magnetic particles that fluoresce under ultraviolet light, aiding in the detection of even minor defects.
The video demonstrates the practical application of magnetic particle inspection on various industrial components.

non-destructive testing magnetic
particle inspection the magnetic
particle examination is an excellent
method to investigate near surface
defects in ferromagnetic materials this
video shows the basic principle and the
practical procedure the material test
against the machine ready for use and
inserts the test piece between the two
poles of an electromagnet then she takes
a bottle with a suspension of magnetic
particles turns on the electromagnet
with a foot switch and applies the
suspension of magnetic particles onto
the test piece already in daylight dark
lines are visible on the surface the
lines can be seen much better under
ultraviolet light and particularly well
at darkening the daylight the suspension
contains pigments that cover the
magnetic particles and fluoresce under
ultraviolet light the particles runoff
in areas free from defects and they are
attracted and clustered near defects
this work piece shows a whole array of
cracks the basic principle is to
magnetize a ferromagnetic workpiece
parallel to its surface as shown in the
sectional view
if the workpiece is free from defects
the magnetic field lines run within the
workpiece and parallel to its surface in
places of magnetic in homogeneity
for instance near cracks the magnetic
field lines will locally leave the
surface and a leakage field occurs now
if a suspension of ferromagnetic
particles is applied onto the test piece
surface the magnetic particles will run
off at defect free areas in places of
leakage fields the magnetic particles
are attracted and clustered together
thus indicating the place of the defect
the method works best using a pigment
which covers the magnetic particles and
shows fluorescence under ultraviolet
light
even cracks can be detected that are not
open to the surface but just below it as
long as they are not too far below the
surface but one precondition must always
be fulfilled the magnetic field lines
must be perpendicular or at least at a
certain angle to the defect otherwise
there will be no leakage field and the
defects remain undetected
our test sample has been magnetized in
horizontal direction the magnetic field
lines run horizontally this is the
reason why cracks in vertical Direction
are visible particularly well to make
sure to detect all near surface cracks
one has to magnetize the sample once
more and best perpendicularly to the
first time to do this the material
tester switches the machine over to the
current flow method a high electric
current flows through the sample
generating a circular magnetic field now
the cracks in horizontal Direction can
be seen very well the tested sample is a
hardened sliding guide the cracks have
been formed during the hardening process
and the subsequent grinding operation
still another test piece has to face the
magnetic particle inspection a section
of a large gear wheel the same procedure
again placing the gear wheel between the
magnetic pole pieces magnetizing and
applying magnetic particle suspension
already in jail it-- there are
indications of cracks and again they are
best visible under ultraviolet light
while darkening the daylight the visible
cracks are so-called fatigue cracks they
have been generated during the operation
of the gear drive due to a mismatch of
the gear wheels
