How Magnetic Particle Works

Many ferrous metals can be magnetized. Fluorescent magnetic shavings laid over the test area will align to magnetic fields propagating through the workpiece. Cracks and voids will interrupt this field and show in the orientation of magnetic shavings on the workpiece. Check out the robots that use the magnetic particle system below:
