Magnetic-particle inspection — (MPI) is a non destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferroelectric materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic field into the part. The piece… … Wikipedia
Electrical mobility — is the tendency of charged elementary particles (such as electrons or protons) to move, other than engaging in a stationary orbit (for example within a given atom or molecule}. When a charged particle in a gas or liquid is acted upon by a uniform … Wikipedia
