MAGNETIZING

EQUIPMENTS

BSS Non Destructive Testing Pvt.Ltd.

Magnetizing Equipments :
Stationary Horizontal Units
This machine uses a combination of Current flow [ circular ] and Coil [ longitudinal ]
method of magnetization. A re-circulating particle suspension is applied to the part
using a hose and a pump. The machine provides AC and HWDC with high currents.
Standard lights for visible particle and ultraviolet lights for fluorescent particle
examination are provided in the machine.

Prod Units
These are portable high current sources and use a pair of prods
[ electrodes ] to circularly magnetize a local area of a part by current flow method.

Permanent Magnets
Use a pair of very strong permanent magnets to introduce a longitudinal magnetic
field in a local area of a part.

Electromagnetic Yokes
Use an electrically energized coil to magnetize a C- Shaped laminated adjustable
core, which is used to introduce the magnetic field in the local area of a part.

Central conductors for magnetizing inside diameter of hollow parts:

Copper and Aluminum rods of different diameters are generally used as

central conductors.
Steel rods can be used but heating effect and electrical resistance will
increase the load on the machine.
For a given current and rod diameter, magnetic field distribution outside
any electrical conductor is same.

Permanent magnet :
A pair of strong permanent magnets, separate or mounted in an adjustable
fixture can be used to produce local magnetization in a part. Magnets
produce steady longitudinal field, which does not contribute to particle
mobility, therefore less sensitive for detection of sub surface flaws. Field
strength can not controlled easily.

• Permanent magnets are used

when electric current can not
be used.
• Wet particles are normally
used with this magnet.
Inspection area is centrally 1
inch dia between the poles.

• Qualifying Lifting power 40

lbs or 18.1 kg.

• Useful when the flaw

locations are known.

Electromagnetic Yokes :
A laminated soft iron C shaped core is magnetized within a coil and is used
to introduce magnetizing field in the part. AC and HWDC magnetization
are generally used. Yoke eliminates electric arcing problem of the direct
current flow methods.

 Electric yokes use coils wound

on C shaped laminated soft
iron core.
 Opening of the core [ leg ] is
adjustable.
 Magnetizing field switches off
with the current.
 Required lifting power, 4.5 kg
AC and 18.1 kg DC.
