Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) done with the help of a Magnaflux machine is a highly reliable and effective means of detecting surface and near-surface defects in metal components without causing damage to them.
Basically, a Magnaflux machine uses Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) for detecting cracks, seams, laps, and other discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. The process includes magnetizing the part and applying the magnetic particles (dry or wet) that gather around defects, making those visible to visible or UV light.
These machines find applications in various industries like automotive, aerospace, railways, and heavy engineering to ensure the quality and performance of the part. magnaflux testing machines are noted for the precision they provide and their user-friendliness and repeatability.
They also reduce the chances of failure of a part, improve overall quality control, and bring down cost by saving expensive component rework or accidents from ever happening.
