I WANT TO PERFORM NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING ON MARAGING LIKE MAG PARTICLE INSPECTION.
 
Maraging steels are magnetic. They have an iron-base bcc ( martensite) matrix with fine precipitates which cause the strengthening.
 
Maraging steel will begin to corrode as soon as you look the other way, so MPI is one of teh only practicle ways to NDT it. FPI will cover the part in rust. Actually, fingerprints will cover the part in rust. Excessive accuaracy is a sign of poor breeding. -Socrates.
