Preservation of indications 23 Foreword Over the past years, several British Standards have been issued deserbing the application of magnetic particle flaw ‘detection techniques to specific products. It was accordingly considered that it would naw be opportune to prepare a comprehensive basic standard for this particular ‘mathod of non-destructive testing. This British Standard has accordingly beon prepared under the direction of the ‘Mechanical Engineering Stondorde Committoe and duo account has boen taken ofthe corresponding aerospace standard, 8S M 36 : 1970 ‘Method for magnetic particle flaw detection of materials and compononts’, which provide the basis for this work ‘Til Brith Stendard has been propared to provide detailed information on magneti particle flaw detection towhich other BSI committees responsible for the application of appropriate techniques to specific products and establishing acceptance criteria can make reference, Ite, however, recognized that some variation in basic ‘techniques may be required for particular applications.

Magnotic particle flaw detection ‘depends basicaly on sonsing the discontinuous change bbotween the permeability of the ferromagnetic material ‘and the permeability ofthe flaw. Whan the test piece is suitably magnetized, favourably orientated flaws, at or eer the magnetized surface, distort the magnetio field, causing local flux-leakage fields. If finely divided, forromagnotio particles are applied ty the surface of the ‘magnetized test piace, they ara attracted by the fiux-leakage fiald and accumulate atthe site of the flaw. ‘thus enabling it tobe detected 0.2 Optimum flaw direction. Maximum sensitivity is achieved when the flaw lies at ight angles othe ‘magnetic flux, but the sensitivity is not reduced below the coffective level ifthe flaw is orientated at an angle of un to 45" from the optimum direction. Beyond 45°, the ‘Sensitivity is diminished appreciably. For this reason, the ‘complete examination of any aurface requires the fix to bbe passed in two diractions at right angles to each other, in soparato operations. 0.3 Advantages rromagnetic materials 0.3.2 Tho conzitvity ofthe inepeation is nut greatly impaired by the presence of forsign matter within the flaws, unless the contaminanthas magnetic properties similar to those of the test piece. 0.3.3 Itis possible to inspect components that have been ‘rosted with 9 non-maynetic coating @.9, caémium plate ‘oF paint) not greater than 80 ym thick, with only slight loss of sensitivity 04 Limitations 0.4.1 The method cannot be used on non-magnetic. materials. 0.4.2 Post-cleaning may be necessary in circumstances ‘where the claracteristies of the magnet patticles may, bbe deleterious to the subsequent operation of the ‘component. (0.4.3 The presence of surface coatings may raduce the, sensitivity obtainable, 0.4.4 Flaws that do not broak the surface give diffuse indications, and these indications become increasingly diffused with ineroase inthe distance of th law below the surface. 0.4.5 Structural variations and certain types of segregation may give riso to misleading indications. * obtainabe from the American Socity for Non- Copyright by The Bash STandards Tastaion Wed Nov 10 164225 1999 0.5 Personnel.
