METAL MAGNETIC MEMORY (MMM) TECHNOLOGY

EFFECT
Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) is an after effect which occurs as residual magnetization in parent metal or
welded joint formed in the course of fabrication or due to irreversible change of the local magnetization state
of parent metal/inspection object in zones of stress concentration or damage under loadings.
In general, MMM is an after effect which is directly correlated with the distribution of natural magnetic fields
and the accumulated stress-stran which has been experienced by the ferrous or paramagmetic material.

PURPOSE
To asses the stress condition in determine the weak area in material based on established correlation
between accumulated stress-strain state that has been experienced by ferrous/paramagnetic material with
the distribution of natural magnetic fields.

It is an ISO 24497:2007 recognised Energodiagnostika Pte Ltd is the

passive inspection technology. sole developer of this technology

Ferrous and Residual Remaining life

ISO Recognised Stress detection method

 Contac�ng MMM Non-Contact Magnetometric
Diagnos�cs (NCMD)
The technology is direct-contact with inspection The Technology is a partial technology combining
object obtaining the position and actual stress with contacting MMM Technology
condition of the inspection object NCMD detection is based directly correlated of
natural magnetic fields of inspection object
towards the local earth magnetic fields
It provides the location of high stress area of the
buried pipe without any excavation required
