Why Skipping Demagnetization After MPI Can Be a Costly Mistake

Table of Contents

Demagnetization removes or reduces this unwanted magnetic field by randomizing magnetic domains inside the material using a controlled alternating magnetic field (AC). This process:

  • ✔️ Ensures clean surfaces for coating, painting, or bonding

  • ✔️ Restores neutral magnetic state in precision components

  • ✔️ Prevents functional failures in assemblies or instruments

  • ✔️ Meets international NDT standards (e.g., ASTM E1444, ISO 9934)


🔧 How to Demagnetize After MPI

The demagnetization method depends on part size, shape, and field strength:

Method Suitable for Equipment
AC Tabletop Demagnetizer Small tools, fasteners Bench-type demag unit
Tunnel Demagnetizer Shafts, rings, mass production Conveyor-type demag system
Pulse Demagnetizer Deep or heavy magnetization High-energy pulse demag
Handheld Demagnetizer Spot demag or field work Portable unit

👉 For example, our CDW-12000AT automatic tunnel demagnetizer is widely used after MPI to process up to 50kg components with consistent performance.


📌 Best Practices for Post-MPI Demagnetization

  • Use residual field meters (Gauss meters) to verify demag results

  • Follow gradual field decay method (move part away from AC field)

  • Integrate demagnetizer inline with MPI machines for automation

  • Monitor and log residual magnetism levels in your QA checklist


🏭 Real-World Industries That Require Demagnetization After MPI

  • Automotive: shafts, crankshafts, bearing rings

  • Aerospace: turbine blades, landing gear

  • Heavy machinery: gears, forgings

  • Marine & rail: structural welds, axles

  • Medical devices: surgical tools, implants
