The document discusses magnetic particle inspection and concepts related to magnetism including magnetic domains, hysteresis loops, magnetic fields, and their applications in non-destructive testing.

Magnetic domains are small polarized regions within ferromagnetic materials where the magnetic moments are aligned. When an external magnetic field is applied, the domains will align with the field, increasing the material's magnetization.

A longitudinal magnetic field has lines of force that run parallel to the long axis of the part, while a circular field has lines of force that run circumferentially around the perimeter of the part.
