If the magnetizing force is now gradually decreased to zero, the flux density<br />

decreases to point B r , which represents the residual flux density remaining in<br />

the material after the magnetizing force has been removed.The ferromagnetic<br />

part now has a significant amount of residual induction or magnetism. This<br />

condition represents the second condition under which satisfactory leakage<br />

flux testing can be done.<br />

If the magnetizing force is reversed in direction and gradually increased<br />

again, the residual magnetism can be reduced to zero point H c . The force<br />

required to demagnetize the ferromagnetic part is known as the coercive<br />

force and the second quadrant of the magnetization curve is known as the<br />

coercive demagnetization curve. In general, ferromagnetic parts should be<br />

demagnetized after flux leakage testing to assure that they do not attract<br />

minute iron particles that might interfere with subsequent machining<br />

operations.<br />
