This British Standard has accordingly been prepared under the direction of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee and due account has been taken of the corresponding aeros

This British Standard has been prepared to provide detailed information on magnetic particle flaw detection to which other BSI committees responsible for the

It is emphasized that the effectiveness of magnetic particle inspection rests on the technical competence of the

15、 personnel employed on such work and their ability to interpret the indications given by the techniques. In interpreting results from magnetic particle inspection, it is necessary to distinguish between relevant indications from flaws and non-relevant indications arising from other causes. Magnetic

16、particle flaw detection is often used in conjunction with other testing methods. The use of any non-destructive testing methods should always be considered in relation to testing and inspection as a whole. When such methods are specified, the most suitable and economic method of inspection compatibl

17、e with the ultimate application for the product should always be employed. BS 6072 : 1981 British Standard Method for Magnetic particle flaw detection O. Introduction 0.1 Basic principles. Magnetic particle flaw detection depends basically on sensing the discontinuous change between the permeability

18、 of the ferromagnetic material and the permeability of the flaw. When the test piece is suitably magnetized, favourably orientated flaws, at or near the magnetized surface, distort the magnetic field, causing local flux-leakage fields. If finely divided, ferromagnetic particles are applied to the su

19、rface of the magnetized test piece, they are attracted by the flux-leakage field and accumulate at the site of the flaw, thus enabling it to be detected. 0.2 Optimum flaw direction. Maximum sensitivity is achieved when the flaw lies at rightangles to the magnetic flux, but the sensitivity is not red

20、uced below the effective level if the flaw is orientated at an angle of up to 45“ from the optimum direction. Beyond 45“, the sensitivity is diminished appreciably. For this reason, the complete examination of any surface requires the flux to be passed in fwo directions a right angles to each other,

21、 in separate operations. 0.3 Advantages 0.3.1 Magnetic particle flaw detection can detect cracks, non-metallic inclusions and other discontinuities in or near the surface of ferromagnetic materials. 0.3.2 The sensitivity of the inspection is not greatly impaired by the presence of foreign matter wit

22、hin the flaws, unless the contaminant has magnetic properties similar to those of the test piece. 0.3.3 It is possible to inspect components that have been treated with a non-magnetic coating (eqg. cadmium plate or paint) not greater than 50 pm thick, with only slight loss of sensitivity. 0.4 Limita

23、tions 0.4.1 The method cannot be used on non-magnetic materials. 0.4.2 Post-cleaning may be necessary in circumstances where the characteristics of the magnetic particles may be deleterious to the subsequent operation of the component. 0.4.3 The presence of surface coatings may reduce the sensitivit

24、y obtainable. 0.4.4 Flaws that do not break the surface give diffuse indications, and these indications become increasingly diffused with increase in the distance of the flaw below the surface. 0.4.5 Structural variations and certain types of segregation may give rise to misleading indications. 0.5

25、Personnel. Ail persons associated with magnetic particle flaw detection shall have been adequatey trained to the agreed levels appropriate to their responsibilities and be able to read the Jaeger J.2 chart* at a distance of 0.5 m. It is necessary for all operators and supervisors to observe the requ

26、irements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. 1. Scope This British Standard specifies techniques and procedures for magnetic particle flaw detection of ferromagnetic materials. Magnetic particle flaw detection is primarily used for the detection of surface-breaking flaws, particularly cr

27、acks. It can also detectflaws just below the surface, but its sensitivity diminishes rapidly with depth. 2.
