Magnetic particle inspection is a nondestructive inspection method used for detection of surface and subsurface flaws in ferrous parts. MPI inspection is used to inspect a variety of product forms such as castings, forgings, and weldments.

  • Dry and wet particles are available to suit your needs.
  • Choose from fluorescent or non-fluorescent for UV or daylight
  • inspection.
  • Particle size is controlled to ensure maximum sensitivity.
  • Fluorescent particles are encapsulated to minimize separation
  • of fluorescence from particles.

Benefits

MAGNAFLUX magnetic particles are designed to hold up better and do not break down during agitation. This avoids having to change the bath as often and insures consistent performance during inspection.

The only requirement from an inspectability standpoint is that the component being inspected must be made of a ferromagnetic material such as iron, nickel or cobalt, or some of their alloys. Ferromagnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized to a level that will allow the inspection to be effective.

The MAGNAGLO product line is our fluorescent (requires a black light) wet method magnetic particle materials used in Magnetic Particle Inspection to locate surface and subsurface flaws in ferrous parts.

The MAGNAFLUX product line is our dry method, non-fluorescent magnetic particle materials used in Magnetic Particle Inspection to detect surface and subsurface flaws in ferrous parts.

How To Use MAGNAFLUX YOKES®

Preclean inspection area. Spray on Cleaner/Remover. Wipe off with cloth.

Place Yoke on test piece perpendicular to direction of suspected cracks.

Energize Yoke. Magnetic field will form in test piece.

Apply magnetic powder or prepared bath while Yoke is energized.

Indications will form immediately.
