ASNT Level III Chapter 4 EXAM
Which of the following materials cannot be tested by magnetic particle techniques? -
Correct Ans-copper alloys
Materials that are strongly attracted to a magnet are called: - Correct Ans-ferromagnetic
Magnetic lines of force (magnetic fields) are oriented in what direction in relation to the
direction of the magnetizing current? - Correct Ans-at right angles
Magnetizing flux is a term that relates to: - Correct Ans-the lines of force associated with
a magnetic field
Subjecting a part to a magnetic field that is constantly reversing in polarity and gradually
diminish in strength accomplishes which of the following - Correct Ans-demagnetizes
the part
Circular magnetization is useful in the detection of: - Correct Ans-longitudinal cracks
In which magnetizing method is the current passed directly through the part, thereby
setting up a magnetic filed at right angles to the current flow? - Correct Ans-Circular
magnetization
Which of the following is a major disadvantage of using prods? - Correct Ans-The
inspection surface may be arc burned
Inspecting a part by applying the magnetic particle suspension while the current is
flowing is called the: - Correct Ans-continuous method
How is the inside diameter of a cylinder best magnetized? - Correct Ans-With a central
conductor place between contact heads
The amount of amperage used for magnetic particle inspection using prods is based on
the distance between the prods and the: - Correct Ans-thickness of the part
Demagnetization of a part is usually not necessary if the part is: - Correct Ans-to be
hardened by heat treatment after inspection
Which of the following is an advantage of the dry technique over the wet technique? -
Correct Ans-It is easier to use for field inspection with portable equipment
Fluorescent magnetic particles are used in preference to visible magnetic particles: -
Correct Ans-to increase the speed and reliability of detecting very small discontinuities
