Abstract

This paper presents a Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) method to inspect welds and base metal, which is standardized as per ISO 24497. MMM method is used to find stress concentration zones on the test object, them being locations where defects would be either already present or most likely to start occurring even before they can be confirmed with the conventional NDT methods. MMM method and its results are compared with the conventional ultrasonic (UT) testing method on weld samples, where a quite good correlation between their results is confirmed.
