Magnetic Particle Inspection Gets Revitalized
The difficulty with processing ring-shaped parts for aerospace applications is a risk of deformation, or burning or arcing of the part when clamped between contact plates. Correct part processing requires the part to be clamped twice, thus doubling the risk. The part must be turned 90 degrees between the two shots in order to inspect the area that comes in contact with the clamps because an indication may not develop in this area.

Phasing in New Array Technology
Detecting flaws is a challenge even in the best of times. Interpreting complex patterns on NDT instrument displays can be difficult, and a part’s size, geometry and material makeup can add to the problem. Often, it takes a certified inspector to weed out the good from the bad.
