Hello everyone,

I am a student at Mitchell Technical Institute in Mitchell South Dakota and I am working towards a welding and manufacturing degree. We are currently studying AWS D1.1 :2015 and have read a little bit about different NDT processes. We will soon be learning to use more of this equipment and seeing as how I do not have much knowledge in this area I was wondering what the benefits to using magnetic particle testing (MT) over other testing procedures as far acceptance criteria of welds goes? I was also wondering if certain conditions make MT a better method to use instead of other forms of NDT.

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Nick

Hi Nick,
Do you have other reference materials/books where you can look up MT inspection and the different variations of MT inspection?(some methods use portable equipment to use in the field, others use stationary equipment that stays in the lab)
Once you understand the principles involved with MT inspection and how it works, I think you can answer your own question. Of course I could blurt out several advantages and disadvantages for you, but it will stick with you better if you can look it up and see it for yourself. If I know what books you have available at your disposal, Maybe I can help point you to the answers you are looking for.
Here is a link to get you started in case you don't have any NDT books handy.

Hello John,

I am not sure yet as to whether we will be provided with any other books or materials to use for the NDT methods we will be studying. I think we will be getting something to that effect once we start that class though. I looked at the link you sent me and it helped a lot to clarify the differences as well as advantages and disadvantages for using MT.

Thanks again!

Nick
