Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is a cornerstone NDT method used to detect surface and near-surface cracks in ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. This versatile technique is widely employed across various industries because it is a relatively straightforward and cost-effective method, making it ideal for various inspection applications. It’s also applicable to a broad range of ferromagnetic materials, and offers a valuable tool for diverse inspection needs. It forms a strong foundation for understanding more advanced methods.
What you’ll gain in an MT training course:
- Principles of Magnetism: Grasp the fundamental concepts of magnetism and how they influence MT inspections.
- Magnetisation Techniques: Learn various methods for inducing a magnetic field in the test object to reveal hidden flaws.
- Particle Selection and Application: Understand the different types of magnetic particles and how to use them effectively for optimal crack detection.
- Interpretation of Indications: Develop the ability to analyse MT results and identify various types of surface and near surface discontinuities.
- Reporting and Documentation: Master the process of documenting MT inspections and generating clear, concise reports.
Duration
