    The method that cannot be used to search for lost tools is

    • A.

      X-ray

    • B.

      Magnetic particle

    • C.

      Visual search

    • D.

      Depaneling

    Correct Answer
    B. Magnetic particle
    Explanation
    Magnetic particle inspection is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface defects in materials. It involves applying a magnetic field to the object and then applying iron particles to the surface. If there are any defects present, the particles will be attracted to them and create a visible indication. However, this method is not suitable for searching for lost tools as it requires direct contact with the surface being inspected, which would not be possible if the tool is lost or hidden.
