Ph steel inspection

Can we perform magnetic particle inspection on 15-5 Ph steel to detect surface cracks.

Yes, indeed, Saravanan, 15-5 PH stainless steel is sufficiently ferromagnetic that one can test it using magnetic particle inspection. Have fun!

Q. Dear All,
As we are a forging supply company, I want to know whether --
1) SS410 material is to be supplied with rust preventive oil, and
2) How the crack detection of the material can be, as normally for other steel we use Magnetic particle inspection, using x-ray fluorescence machine.

I expect anyone may help with this issue, sharing their knowledge positively....
Waiting for reply!!!

Thanks & regards,
