Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing process that detects surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials like iron and steel alloys. It works by magnetizing the material using either direct or indirect magnetization, where direct passes a current through the object and indirect uses an outside magnetic field source, forming lines of magnetic force perpendicular to the electric current, which can be alternating or direct current.

Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for

detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials


such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic
field into the part. The piece can be magnetized by direct or indirect magnetization.
Direct magnetization occurs when the electric current is passed through the test
object and a magnetic field is formed in the material. Indirect magnetization occurs
when no electric current is passed through the test object, but a magnetic field is
applied from an outside source. The magnetic lines of force are perpendicular to the
direction of the electric current which may be either alternating current (AC) or
some form of direct current (DC) (rectified AC).
