ABSTRACT:
A field strength indicator for a magnetic particle inspection process is used to determine field strength and direction sufficient to identify real flaws in a test piece. The field strength indicator is a substantially flat shim having at least one series of artificial flaws formed therein by electric discharge machining. The artificial flaws have a geometry which render them compatible with real flaws and thus enable the magnetic field strength and direction to be properly set for conducting a magnetic particle inspection procedure. The surface containing the artifical flaws must be covered with a thin inert and non-magnetic coating for proper operation.
