16. General recommendation of visual inspection for the operator and the object to be inspected at a distance
from his eye to be within _______ mm of the test surface at an angle not less than _______degrees.

17. The major working principle of Magnetic Particle Inspection is the

_________________________________ due to surface/subsurface discontinuities.

18. In ________________ materials, all the electrons are paired so there is no permanent net magnetic moment
per atom.

19. _________________________________ Current is also highly desirable for magnetic particle testing
because when it is rectified and filtered, the resulting current very closely resembles direct current.

20. The residual magnetization left after the magnetic particle inspection may cause the weld arc to wonder to
filler metal to be repelled from the weld in the welding process. It creates a condition known as
__________________ during the welding process.
