Non-destructive testing — Metal magnetic memory —
Part 1:
Vocabulary and general requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies terms and definitions for non-destructive testing (NDT) by the technique of
metal magnetic memory (MMM) as well as general requirements for application of this technique of the
magnetic testing method.
The terms specified in this document are mandatory for application in all types of documentation and
literature of non-destructive testing, using the metal magnetic memory technique.
This NDT technique has the following objectives:
— determination of the heterogeneity of the magneto-mechanical state of ferromagnetic objects,
detection of defect concentration and boundaries of metal microstructure heterogeneity;
— determination of locations with magnetic stray field aberrations for further microstructural
analysis and/or non-destructive testing and evaluation;
— early diagnostics of fatigue damage of the inspected object and evaluation of its structural life time;
— quick sorting of new and used inspection objects by their magnetic heterogeneity for further testing;
— efficiency improvement of non-destructive testing by combining metal magnetic memory testing
with other NDT methods or techniques (ultrasonic testing, x-ray, etc.) by fast detection of the most
probable defect locations;
— quality control of welded joints of various types and their embodiment (including contact and spot
welding). See ISO 24497-2 for details of this application.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO/TS 18173 and the
following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
metal magnetic memory
MMM
magnetic state of a ferromagnetic object, depending on how the field has changed in the past and a
consequence of the magneto-mechanical hysteresis of the material
Note 1 to entry: For a given magnetic field (e.g. the magnetic field of the earth), a ferromagnetic object formed
in the course of its fabrication or in operation changes its residual magnetization due to diverse environmental
[35] [6][10][17]
factors which influence the magnetic domain distribution (e.g. temperature, mechanical loads or
microstructural changes of the material).
3.2
magnetic stray field
SF
magnetic field that leaves or enters the surface of a part without intentional magnetization of that part
Note 1 to entry: A ferromagnetic material produces magnetic fields both within its own volume and in the space
around it. The field generated by the magnetization distribution of the material itself is known as the stray field
outside the body or as the demagnetizing field within it. Demagnetizing fields and stray fields are geometry
dependent and arise whenever the magnetization is non-uniform or has a component normal to external
[46]
or internal surfaces . High local changes of the stray field – similar to magnetic flux leakage – can indicate
heterogeneity of material properties.
Note 2 to entry: Other terms that have been used in literature are, for example, self-magnetic leakage field,
residual magnetic field, surface magnetic field, magnetic leakage field, magnetic field density or surface field.
Stray field is the recommended term for passive magnetic field measurements when used for non-destructive
testing purposes, whereas magnetic flux leakage defines a magnetic flux intentionally amplified due to external
sources before or during testing.
3.3
metal magnetic memory testing
MMM testing
technique of the magnetic testing method in NDT based on the measurement and analysis of the
magnetic stray field (3.2) distribution on the surface of inspected objects (IOs) without intentional
(active) magnetization
Note 1 to entry: Magnetic field sensitive probes are used to measure the stray field distribution
3.4
stray field vector
H
SF,i
magnitude in direction i (i= x, y, z) of the magnetic field of the inspected object surface determined by
passive magnetic field sensing
3.5
stray field indication
SFI
any deviation from SF (stray field) uniformity caused by high mechanical stress/strain gradients as
[6][10][17][47]
sources of local stray fields
Note 1 to entry: An SFI is also formed at positions with local magnetic permeability changes, which can be
caused by defect concentrations (e.g. cracks, pitting corrosion), boundaries of strong heterogeneities in the metal
[24][25][57][60] [46]
microstructure, impurities, abrupt geometry changes , internal and external surfaces , separation
of the inspection objects body, irreversible deformations (with high dislocation densities) and changes of the
chemical compositions (e.g. depositing or leaching).
Note 2 to entry: An SFI is not necessary a defect indication and requires interpretation to determine its relevance;
see also Annex A. SFI replaces the term stress concentration zone (SCZ) as used before this revision. It is
recommended to use SCZ only for locations where mechanical stress is concentrated (e.g. sharp corners, crack tips).
2 © ISO 2020 – All rights reserved
3.6
stray field gradient
K
SF
change in stray field magnitude with respect to change of sensor position and/or change of time, t, for
the same sensor position
j
Note 1 to entry: The stray field gradient, K , is calculated according to Formulae (2) and/or (3).
SF,i
3.7
median stray field gradient
K
med
median slope of SF along and/or between measuring line(s) calculated according to Formula (4)
Note 1 to entry: It is related to the shape anisotropy of the IO and its magnetic polarization. If the magnetization
state of initial operating state of the IO is unknown, the median gradient provides an estimation of the proper
state of the IO. In particular, the normal SF component shows frequently a characteristic curve between positive
and negative values.
Note 2 to entry: Changes of the median gradient between periodic (Δt, time-dependent) measurements and/
or changes between working conditions of the IO, e.g. the in-service state and without operation loads can be
related to magneto-mechanical effects.
3.8
magnetic index
j
m
i
ration of the local SFI gradient to the median SFI gradient for evaluation of the SFI, according to
Formula (6)
3.9
distance between neighbouring scanning lines
∆y
distance between the centre points of the sensors in the head and/or distance between two adjacent
measurement lines
j
Note 1 to entry: This distance affects the stray field gradient (3.6), K .
SF,i
3.10
discrete sampling distance in the scanning line
∆x
distance between two adjacent measuring points of the magnitude or components of the stray field
j
Note 1 to entry: This sampling distance affects the stray field gradient (3.6), K .
SF,i
3.11
magnetic stray field diagram
graph displaying the stray field distribution and/or stray field gradient (3.6) and/or median stray field
gradient (3.7) versus the scanning path
3.12
lift-off
distance between surface of IO and centre of the magnetic probe’s sensing area/volume
Note 1 to entry: A small lift-off is essential for the reliability of SFI evaluation.
