Steel and iron castings - Magnetic particle inspection
1 Scope
This standard specifies the general requirements, acceptance criteria, indicated grading
and evaluation, re-inspection, inspection records and reports, etc., for magnetic particle
inspection of steel and iron castings.
This standard is applicable to magnetic particle inspection of surface and near-surface
defects in ferromagnetic iron and steel castings.
2 Normative references

documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this document;
for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) is
applicable to this standard.

of defects and sensitivity requirements that need to be detected. The inspection
sensitivities of different inspection methods are different, which shall be determined
based on the surface roughness, batch size, inspection conditions, ordering information
of the inspected parts.
4.3.2 The timing of inspection is usually based on delivery status or contract stipulations.
4.3.3 Inspection technology shall include: surface cleaning methods, surface roughness,
inspection methods, indication observation, recording and evaluation, as well as
demagnetization and cleaning requirements after inspection.
4.3.4 Before inspection, it shall be verified whether the surface magnetic field intensity
of iron and steel castings meets the requirements. When the magnetic field intensity on
the surface of the iron and steel casting is 2.4 kA/m, if the magnetic induction intensity
is greater than 1 T, it can be determined that the iron and steel casting is ferromagnetic.
4.3.5 During inspection, magnetization shall be carried out in two mutually
perpendicular directions. When mutually perpendicular magnetization is not possible,
the supplier and the buyer shall reach an agreement on the magnetization direction.
Magnetization may be performed in one direction, unless otherwise specified or when
the direction of stress is known and only the most dangerous defects are to be inspected.
4.3.6 Magnetization and media application shall comply with standard requirements.
For example, in the continuous method, the inspection medium shall be continuously
applied just before magnetization and during the magnetization process; magnetization
shall continue for a certain period of time after stopping the application of the inspection
medium, so that there is enough time to form magnetic traces.
4.3.7 Castings shall be cleaned when required after inspection. In the final delivery state,
when the residual magnetism of the casting is higher than the specified maximum
residual magnetic induction value, it shall be demagnetized.
4.4 Personnel qualifications
Inspection personnel shall meet the requirements stipulated in GB/T 9445 or other
relevant standards; hold qualification certificates issued by the corresponding
assessment institutions. The qualifications of inspection personnel shall be
unanimously recognized by both the supplier and the buyer.
4.5 Surface requirements
4.5.1 The surface of the workpiece shall be inspected before inspection. The surface to
be inspected shall be clean, dry, free of oil, grease, sand, rust, or other contaminants and
coatings that would interfere with the implementation of the test and the evaluation of
the test results.
4.5.2 Surface contaminants and coatings can be treated by one or several methods (the
applicability and impact on the parts being inspected must be considered). Surface
treatment methods can include cleaning, water washing, solvent (solution) cleaning,
steam degreasing, pickling, alkali washing, ultrasonic cleaning, mechanical cleaning,
etc.
4.5.3 The surface to be inspected can be sandblasted, shot peened, polished or machined;
however, the impact of sandblasting and shot peening on defect inspection shall be
considered.
4.5.4 Based on the need to evaluate the minimum size of magnetic trace indication,
please refer to Appendix B for the recommended surface roughness for magnetic
particle inspection.
4.5.5 Thin (not larger than 0.05 mm) non-conductive coating generally will not interfere
with the formation of magnetic traces; however, the coating at the conductive contact
point shall be removed.
4.6 Observation conditions
Observation conditions shall comply with the provisions of GB/T 5097. It shall be
observed visually or with a 3X maximum magnification.
5 Acceptance criteria
5.1 Types of defects
According to the shape and size of the defective magnetic trace indication, measure the
length L and width b of the indication; determine the defect indication type according
to the aspect ratio. Indication types are divided into three categories: non-linear
indication (SM), linear indication (LM), aligned indication (AM).
5.2 Quality grade
5.2.1 General requirements
The quality grade is determined in advance. Different quality grade acceptance can be
selected, for the shape and size indication of different types of defects. The rectangular
evaluation area is 105 mm × 148 mm.
5.2.2 Non-linear indication
5.2.2.1 Table 1 specifies the quality grades of non-linear indications.
