A nondestructive method for detecting cracks and other discontinuities at or near the surface in ferromagnetic materials. Finely divided magnetic particles are applied to the surface of a part which has been suitably magnetized. The particles are attracted to regions of magnetic nonuniformity associated with defects and discontinuities, thus producing indications which are observed visually.... 7, record 2, English, - magnetic%20particle%20inspection

Le contrôle magnétoscopique s'applique exclusivement aux pièces en alliage ferromagnétique. Dans une telle pièce, supposée aimantée, une solution de continuité [...] crée une fuite magnétique. Par la suite de la réfraction magnétique, [...] les lignes d'induction sortent de la pièce [...] et dessinent dans l'atmosphère environnante un champ à forte courbure. Des particules ferromagnétiques [...] remontent les lignes d'induction pour se plaquer à la surface, où elles dessinent par leur accumulation un spectre élargi de la solution de continuité: l'élargissement apparent est d'autant plus important que la perturbation du champ est plus intense c'est-à-dire que le défaut qui la crée est de section relative plus forte (en fait plus étendu en profondeur). 1, record 2, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20magn%C3%A9toscopique

contrôle par magnétisation : La désignation Contrôle magnétoscopique a été conservée par souci d'homogénéité avec le titre Épreuves magnétoscopiques de la norme NF A 04-101. Cependant, depuis quelques années, on voit se marquer une certaine préférence pour la désignation Contrôle par magnétisation, qui serait en meilleur parallélisme avec Contrôle par ressuage [...] 1, record 2, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20magn%C3%A9toscopique
