Magnaflux NDT Magnetic Particle Inspection

Magnaglo® is the preferred fluorescent magnetic particle inspection method used for the detection of fine surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferrous materials. Its fluorescent particles are finely controlled to ensure maximum sensitivity and to encapsulate and maintain their fluorescent pigmentation for the production of superior indications and to expand bath life.

Magnavis® is the preferred visible particle inspection method for the detection of fine surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferrous materials. Its magnetic particles are finely controlled to ensure maximum sensitivity and to produce vivid indications under daylight conditions where black light and fluorescent particle use is not possible.

Magnaglo® MG-3410 is a dry, free flowing, green magnetic powder composed of MagnaGlo MG-410 particles and wetting agents. It is used with water as the suspension vehicle and fluoresces green under black light (wavelength of 365 nanometers). MG-3410 magnetic powder contains conditioners which improve magnetic particle suspension, mobility and wetting of the test part surface. No additional wetting or conditioning agents are required when MG-3410 is used.

  • Applications: MG-3410 is used in inspection for small and large defects in steel billets, tube rounds and large castings.

 

Magnaglo® MG-2410 is green fluorescent magnetic powder blended with water condition. Its bright green fluorescent color contrasts with the purple background of metal surfaces when viewed under black light in a darkened area, although a totally darkened inspection area is not required because of MG-2410’s intense brightness. Magnaglo® MG-2410 is used in wet method magnetic particle testing when water is employed as the bath vehicle. MG-2410 magnetic powder also contains conditioners which improve magnetic particle suspension, mobility and wetting of the test part surface. No additional wetting or conditioning agents are required when MG-2410 is used.

 

Magnaglo® MG-410 Wet Method Fluorescent Magnetic Powder is a dry, free flowing magnetic powder that fluoresces bright yellow-green under black light (wavelength of 365 nanometers).

It is an excellent general-purpose water conditioner that gives a water bath good surface wetting and magnetic particle dispersion capabilities. Its unique blend of wetting agents, corrosion inhibitors and anti-forming agents eliminates the need for additional water conditioning agents. As a liquid, WC-1 is more rapidly dispersed in the water bath than powdered conditioners.

 

Magnaglo® WA-2B is a white, granular powder water conditioner used in wet method magnetic particle testing when water is used as the bath vehicle. It is an excellent general-purpose water conditioner that gives a water bath good surface wetting and magnetic particle dispersion capabilities. Its unique blend of wetting agents, corrosion inhibitors and anti-forming agents eliminates the need for additional water conditioning agents and will remain cake-free during prolonged storage.

 

Magnaglo® ZAF-2 Non-Silicone Anti-Foam eliminates foaming in developer, emulsifier and magnetic particle baths. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is used to eliminate forming in aqueous developer baths, water-based magnetic particle baths and hydrophilic remover baths. A few drops of ZAF-2 sprinkled around on the surface is all that is required to eliminate foaming in most baths.
