Increasing Repeatability, Reliability and Productivity in Small Diameter SS
With the ever-increasing demand for small diameter stainless and specialty bars, tubes, and wires for critical applications such as automotive, medical, and aerospace, specifications are becoming more restrictive, therefore placing extreme pressure on the productivity of nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment.
MAC Delivers Eddy Current Test System for High Performance Stainless Steel Pipe
Magnetic Analysis Corp. has just delivered a single channel Multimac eddy current off-line test system designed to meet ASTM 999 (American Society for Testing Materials) specifications for testing welded stainless steel pipe.
Choosing and Applying NDT Methods for Round Stock During Production Authored by Joseph Baldauff, VP Technology
Automotive manufacturers require that all mission-critical parts must be manufactured from the highest quality material available to the raw material purchaser. Many ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials), API (American Petroleum Institute), and EN (European) specifications exist because the manufacturers of these parts must assure their customers that they meet all quality requirements.

Rotomac® 40mm Eddy Current Rotary to Test Rod
Magnetic Analysis Corp.’s new 40mm Rotomac® Eddy Current Rotary offers enhanced convenience for detecting seam-type surface defects in cold-drawn wire, cut-length bar stock, and parts forming. A single-handle external probe adjustment allows quick, safe dimensional changes without opening the rotary.
New Turnkey Phased Array Ultrasonic Solution for Evaluating ERW Welded Tube
Magnetic Analysis Corp’s Echomac® Phased Array system offers mechanical, OCTG, and automotive tube manufacturers a high-performance, automated solution to detect longitudinal weld zone defects and/or monitor weld profiles with minimal operator interaction.
The Advantages of Phased Array Technology when Evaluating Welded Tubes Authored by Michael Moist, PAUT Global Sales Manager
Ultrasonic technology has been used for testing ERW welded pipe at various points in the manufacturing process for many years. ERW pipes are manufactured by cold forming a strip of steel into a cylindrical shape using forming rolls, and then having a high frequency electrical current pass between the strip edges increasing the temperature of the steel to its melting point.
Quality Control for Copper Alloys
Magnetic Analysis Corp. offers a range of eddy current test instruments and systems for detecting surface and sub-surface defects in copper and copper alloy wire and bar. This versatile and generally cost-effective technology is being used in a broad range of wire and rod applications.
Testing Small Diameter Copper Rod & Wire During Drawing
A turn-key eddy current test system has been installed at a large copper rod and wire producer in China. The system is fully integrated with the company’s production line, and the quality of each coil of wire is accurately graded, allowing the manufacturer to match the coil quality with a specific customer’s needs and applications.
Testing Wire and Rod Over the Years
Magnetic Analysis Corp., (MAC) joins in congratulating WIRE on its 70 years covering the growth of the wire industry. A designer and manufacturer of nondestructive test systems, MAC was founded in 1928 and since then has made important contributions to testing technology for wire, cable and bar.
