PROPERTIES OF METALS
Permeability
A B
Magnetised using 100 amps
Magnetised using 100 amps
High Permeability:
Easy to be magnetised
Low Permeability:
Difficult to be magnetised
ФФ
1. Permeability
This refers to the ease with which a magnetic flux is
established in the article being inspected
2. Reluctance
This is the opposition of a magnetic materials to the
establishment of a magnetic flux. A material with high permeability will have a low reluctance.
3. Residual Magnetism
This refers to the amount of magnetism retained after the magnetizing force is removed.
4. Retentivity
Refers to the ability of the materials to retain a certain amount of residual magnetism.
5. Coercive Force
Refers to the reverse magnetising force necessary to remove the residual magnetism from the part.
EXAMPLE A PIECE OF HIGH CARBON CONTENT WHEN PLACE IN A MAGNETIZING FIELD
1. It would have low permeability because it would be hard to magnetize
2. It would be highly reluctant to accept magnetic flux because of high carbon content
3. It would have high residual magnetism
4. It would be highly retentive of the magnetic filed that it has
accepted
5. It would take a high coercive force to remove the residual magnetism from the high carbon content steel part
