Non-Destructive Testing
Magnetic Particle Testing — Fluorescent (MT)Level 3
Our fluorescent magnetic particle testing provides superior sensitivity for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.
The indication that prevents failure — in crankshafts, cylinder liners, gears and wind-turbine yaw rings.
✓ Accredited by E.SY.D. — Cert. No. 134 for Testing
Method applications
Detection of surface defects including cracks, laps, seams and porosity.
Ferromagnetic materials
Applicable to all ferromagnetic steels, castings, and forgings.
Depth capability
Identification of defects at shallow depth beneath the material surface.
Case studies & field applications
Crankshaft main journal & main-engine cylinder liner
Inspection of the main journal of a crankshaft and the cylinder liner of a ship's main engine with fluorescent magnetic particles — indications become instantly visible under the UV lamp.
Gears — crack detection under UV illumination
Advanced crack detection in gears using the MT-Fluorescent method, ensuring optimal performance and safety of critical mechanical components.
- 01Tooth root cracks. Early detection of fatigue cracks in gear teeth
- 02Surface defects. Identification of cracks and heat treatment issues
- 03Quality assurance. Verification of manufacturing quality and service condition
Wind turbines — yaw ring inspection
Inspection for cracks on a wind generator's yaw ring using the magnetic particle (fluorescent) method — ensuring reliability in renewable energy infrastructure through advanced non-destructive testing methodologies and certified expertise.
- 01Yaw ring inspection. Critical examination of yaw bearing raceways and mounting surfaces for fatigue cracking
- 02Tower connections. Weld inspection at flange connections and structural joints subjected to dynamic wind loading
- 03Blade root testing. Verification of blade attachment bolt holes and hub connection points for crack initiation
- 04Yaw ring gear inspection. Inspection for cracks and broken gear teeth
