3. DEFINITIONS.
Principle: The magnetic particle method is based on establishing a magnetic field with high flux density in a ferromagnetic material. The flux
lines must spread out when they pass through non-ferromagnetic material such as air in a discontinuity or an inclusion. Because flux lines cannot
cross, this spreading action may force some of the flux lines out of the material (flux leakage). Flux leakage is also caused by reduction in
ferromagnetic material (cross-sectional change), a Sharp dimensional
change, or the end of the part. If the flux leakage is strong enough, fine magnetic particles will be held in place and an accumulation of particles
will be visible under the proper lighting conditions. While there are variations in the magnetic particle method, they all are dependent on this
principle, that magnetic particles will be retained at the locations of magnetic flux leakage. The amount of flux leakage at discontinuities
depends primarily on the following factors; flux density in the material, and size, orientation, and proximity to the surface of a discontinuity. With
longitudinal fields, all of the flux lines must complete their loops though air and an excessively strong magnetic field may interfere with
examination near the flux entry and exit points due to the high flux-density present at these points.
Method: there are three steps essential to the method:
The part must be magnetized. Magnetic particles of the type designated in the contract/purchase
order/specification should be applied while the part is magnetized or immediately thereafter.
Any accumulation of magnetic particles must be observed, interpreted, and evaluated.
Ways to Magnetize: A ferromagnetic material can be magnetized either
by passing an electric current through the material or by placing the
material within a magnetic field originated by an external source. The
entire mass or a portion of the mass can be magnetized as dictated by

size and equipment capacity or need. As previously noted, in order to be
detectable, the discontinuity must interrupt the normal path of the
magnetic field lines. If a discontinuity is open to the surface, the flux
leakage attracting the particles will be at the maximum value for that
particular discontinuity. When that same discontinuity is below the
surface, flux leakage evident on the surface will be a lesser value.
Field Direction: If a discontinuity is oriented parallel to the magnetic
field lines, it may be essentially undetectable. Therefore, since
discontinuities may occur in any orientation, it may be necessary to
magnetize the part or the area of interest twice or more sequentially in
different directions by the same method or a combination of different
methods to induce magnetic field lines in a suitable direction in which to
perform an adequate examination.
Field Strength: The magnetic field must be of sufficient strength to
indicate those discontinuities which are unacceptable, yet must not be so
strong that an excess of local particle accumulation masks relevant
indications
Types of Magnetic Particles and Their Use: There are various types
of magnetic particles available for use in magnetic particle testing. They
are available as dry powders (fluorescent and nonfluorescent) ready for
use as supplied, powder concentrates (fluorescent and nonfluorescent)
for dispersion in water or suspending in light petroleum distillates,
magnetic slurries/paints, and magnetic polymer dispersions.
Evaluation of Indications: When the material to be examined has been
properly magnetized, the magnetic particles have been properly applied,
and the excess particles properly removed, there will be accumulations of
magnetic particles remaining at the points of flux leakage. These
accumulations show the distortion of the magnetic field and are called
indications. Without disturbing the particles, the indications must be

examined, classified, compared with the acceptance standards, and a
decision made concerning the disposition of the material that contains the
indication.
Typical Magnetic Particle Indications:
Surface Discontinuities: Surface discontinuities, with few
exceptions, produce sharp, distinct patterns.
Near-surface discontinuities: Near-surface discontinuities
produce less distinct indications than those open to the surface. The
patterns tend to be broad, rather than sharp, and the particles are
less tightly held.
Yokes: Yokes are usually C-shaped electromagnets which induce a
magnetic field between the poles (legs) and are used for local
magnetization. Many portable yokes have articulated legs (poles) that
allow the legs to be adjusted to contact irregular surfaces or two surfaces
that join at an angle.
USE A YOKE AS TOOL FOR INSPECTION
Yoke: Examination of large surface areas for surface-type discontinuities.
Advantages Limitations
1. No electrical contact.
2. Highly portable.
3. Can locate
discontinuities in any
direction with proper
orientation.
1. Time consuming.
2. Must be
systematically
repositioned in view of
random discontinuity
orientation.

Dry Particles: Dry magnetic powders are designed to be used as supplied
and are applied by spraying or using directly onto the surface of the part
being examined. They are generally used on an expendable basis because
of the requirement to maintain particle size and control possible
contamination. Reuse is not a normal practice. Dry powders may also be
used under extreme environmental conditions. They are not affected by
cold; therefore examination can be carried out at temperatures that would
thicken or freeze wet baths. They are also heat resistant; some powders
may be usable at temperatures up to 600F (315C). Some colored,
organic coatings applied to dry particles to improve contrast lose their
color at temperatures this high, making the contrast less effective.
Fluorescent dry particles cannot be used at this high a temperature; the
manufacturer should be contacted for the temperature limitations.
USE A DRY PARTICLES FOR INSPECTION
Advantages Disadvantages
The dry magnetic particle technique is
generally superior to the wet technique for
detection of near-surface discontinuities on
parts with a gross indication size:
(a) for large objects when using portable
equipment for local magnetization;
(b) superior particle mobility is obtained for
relatively deep-seated flaws using halfwave
rectified current as the magnetizing source;
(c) easy for removal.
The dry magnetic particle technique:
(a) cannot be used in confined areas without
proper safety breathing apparatus;
(b) can be difficult to use in overhead
magnetizing positions;
(c) does not always leave evidence of complete
coverage of part surface as with the wet
technique;
(d) is likely to have lower production rates
than the wet technique; and
(e) is difficult to adapt to any type of automatic
system.
Dry Continuous Magnetization Technique: Unlike a wet suspension,
dry particles lose most of their mobility when they contact the surface of
a part. Therefore, it is imperative that the part/area of interest be under
the influence of the applied magnetic field while the particles are still
airborne and free to be attracted to leakage fields. This dictates that the
flow of magnetizing current be initiated prior to the application of dry
magnetic particles and terminated after the application of powder has

been completed and any excess has been blown off. Magnetizing with HW
current and AC current provide additional particle mobility on the surface
of the part. Examination with dry particles is usually carried out in
conjunction with prod-type or yoke localized magnetizations, and buildup
of indications is observed as the particles are being applied.
4. PROCEDURE.
The procedure is developed based on the standard ASTM E-709-08. What
is summarized in the following steps:
a. Cleaning the inspection area (Chapter 9).
b. Continues magnetization in one direction (using the electromagnetic
yoke).
c. Application of the visible particles (red) dry powder.
d. First evaluation (Chapters 10 and 16).
e. Continues magnetization perpendicular to the first direction of
assessment (using the electromagnetic yoke).
f. Final evaluation (Chapters 10 and 16).
g. Demagnetization (Chapter 18).
h. Cleaning post evaluation (Chapter 19).
i. Demarcation of indications.
j. Filling of the sheet technical report. In accordance with Chapters 17 and
21 of ASTM E-709-08.
5. ACCEPTANCE OR REJECT CRITERIA.
Acceptance or reject criteria was according to AWS D1.1 STRUCTURAL
WELDING CODE.
6. INSPECTION RESULTS.
During the Magnetic Testing Inspection of the 100% of the welds
belonging to Upper Wagon Central Deck Q1000/D and Q1000/C relevant
discontinuities were detected.
