About Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Magnetic Particle Testing uses one or more magnetic fields to locate surface and near-surface
discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. The magnetic field can be applied with a permanent
magnet or an electromagnet. When using an electromagnet, the field is present only when the current
is being applied. When the magnetic field encounters a discontinuity transverse to the direction of the
magnetic field, the flux lines produce a magnetic flux leakage field of their own.
