Magnetic Particle Testing Services
Fast, nondestructive testing for critical components
What is magnetic particle testing?
Harnessing the power of magnetic fields, this nondestructive testing (NDT) method exposes surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials such as steel, iron, and nickel alloys. With magnetic particle testing, cracks, seams, and laps become visible, allowing for precise assessments without compromising the material.
How Apex’s magnetic particle testing services work
To conduct magnetic particle tests, Apex technicians use advanced equipment to magnetize the material and create a magnetic field. If there are any flaws such as cracks or voids, they disrupt the magnetic field, causing it to “leak” in those areas. Afterward, fine magnetic particles — either applied as a dry powder or in a liquid — stick to these leak points and create visible patterns that reveal defects.
For superior flaw detection, Apex also offers fluorescent magnetic particle inspections, which differ from standard methods by using a fluorescent substance and a black light. This technique highlights even the smallest imperfections with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for inspecting critical components in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
