A Quick Guide by Nuke NDT
In the world of industrial manufacturing and quality control, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) plays a crucial role in ensuring product safety and reliability. Among various NDT methods, Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is widely used for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials due to its high sensitivity and operational efficiency.
With the advancement of automation and AI technology, a new generation of equipment has emerged—Automatic Magnetic Particle Inspection Systems with Intelligent Defect Recognition, and Nuke NDT is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation.
🔍 The Principle Behind Magnetic Particle Inspection
MPI works by magnetizing a ferromagnetic material. If a surface or subsurface discontinuity is present, it distorts the magnetic field and causes a magnetic flux leakage. When magnetic particles (dry powder or fluorescent suspension) are applied, they accumulate at the leakage field, revealing the defect’s shape and location.
🤖 What is an “Automatic Recognition” MPI System?
Traditional MPI often relies on manual visual interpretation, which can be time-consuming and operator-dependent. In contrast, Nuke NDT’s automatic MPI systems integrate advanced technologies to deliver faster, more accurate, and consistent inspection results.
