  • Magnetic Particle Inspection of Casting Internal Defects

    Magnetic Particle Inspection of Casting Internal Defects

    Magnetic particle inspection is a detection method that uses the properties of ferromagnetic materials (such as steel, iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.) to be magnetized. When the metal casting is strongly magnetized by the magnetic field, if there is a defect perpendicular to...
