The magnetic particle method is the most satisfactory method for finding surface and sub-surface defects.... The basic principle of the method is that while magnetic flux lines are caused to flow in a part, the local disturbance at a flaw is detected by using a magnetic powder either dry, or preferably, as a suspension in a liquid. Ferroso-ferric oxide(magnetic oxide of iron, Fe3 04 is generally preferred to powdered soft iron although even iron filings will indicate the larger faults. 1, record 1, English, - powdered%20iron

En projetant à la surface d'une pièce défectueuse de fines particules magnétiques, celles-ci sont attirées et accumulées par le champ de fuite qui se comporte à leur égard comme un minuscule aimant. Cette accumulation visible des particules donne ce que l'on nomme le "spectre du défaut". Ces particules sont généralement des oxydes magnétiques, plus rarement de la poudre de fer. 1, record 1, French, - poudre%20de%20fer

A black magnetic iron oxide found in nature as magnetite, also obtained synthetically (as from iron by heating in steam or from a ferrous salt and an alkali by precipitation and oxidation), and used chiefly as a pigment and a polishing compound but also as a catalyst, in magnetic inks, in metallurgy, in ferrites for the electronic industry and in coatings for magnetic tapes. 9, record 2, English, - iron%28II%29%20diiron%28III%29%20oxide

Composés du fer. [...] L'oxyde magnétique Fe3O4, ou oxyde salin, constitue la pierre d'aimant naturelle; on l'obtient artificiellement par combustion du fer ou par action de la vapeur d'eau. C'est une poudre noire qu'on peut considérer comme une combinaison des deux autres oxydes [ferreux et ferrique]. 9, record 2, French, - oxyde%20de%20fer%28II%29%20et%20de%20difer%28III%29
