- What it is about:
- Non-destructive testing method that uses ferromagnetic particles to detect surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
- How it is done:
- The material is magnetized, and ferromagnetic particles are applied. These particles accumulate at discontinuities, making them visible.
- Where it applies:
- In the inspection of welds, forged and cast parts, and other ferromagnetic components to detect cracks, fissures, and other defects.
