Magnetic Particle Testing Services (MPT) are a widely used Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, steel, and alloys. This testing technique is highly effective for identifying cracks, seams, laps, inclusions, and other discontinuities that may affect the strength and reliability of industrial components.
Magnetic Particle Testing works by magnetizing the test material and applying fine magnetic particles over the surface. If there are any defects present, the magnetic particles gather around those discontinuities, making them clearly visible for inspection. This method allows inspectors to quickly identify flaws without damaging the component being tested.
