Non-Destructive Testing

Magnetic Particle Testing — Fluorescent (MT)

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.
