What is magnetic particle testing?

A Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) job involves using magnetization techniques to detect surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials. Technicians apply magnetic fields and ferrous particles to identify cracks, seams, or discontinuities in metals. This non-destructive testing (NDT) method is commonly used in industries like aerospace, manufacturing, and construction for quality control and safety inspections. MPT technicians must understand testing procedures, equipment operation, and safety protocols. Certification and experience are often required for advanced roles.
