Magnaflux 14A is a highly sensitive magnetic particle powder concentrate engineered to locate very fine discontinuities in critical parts and applications. Designed with strong fluorescent properties, 14A magnetic powder is made with a carefully optimized range of particle sizes & shapes to ensure particles move quickly and easily to indications, while minimizing background and particle clumping.

Ultra-Sensitive Wet Method Fluorescent Particles - Provides clear, bright, fluorescent green indications under ultra-violet black light for unbeatable inspection quality and accuracy

Key Features

  • Ultra-Sensitive Detection: Highly sensitive, strong ferromagnetic 14A particles find smaller, finer indications in critical applications
  • Optimized Particle Design: Optimized particle size and shape help particles move freely to stick to a wide variety of discontinuities with less particle clumping
  • Bright Fluorescent Indications: Clear, bright fluorescent indications form quickly due to the highly fluorescent, highly mobile particles
  • Industry Compliance: Meets all major industry and NDT specification requirements, including Aerospace, ASTM and ISO 9934
  • Minimal Background: Minimal background fluorescence for enhanced indication clarity

Applications

  • Inspecting machined parts, welded parts, after secondary processing
  • Critical in-service inspections and testing smooth surface finishes
  • Finding inclusions, seams, shrink cracks, tears, laps, flakes and cracks
  • High-performance inspections of precision safety-critical components
  • Quality control in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries

REMOVAL

All components, parts, or inspection areas must be properly demagnetized before cleaning to ensure easy particle removal. Cleaned parts may be treated with a temporary film protective coating if longer corrosion protection is required.

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Oil Bath: Weigh out the appropriate amount of 14A and add to the appropriate amount of Carrier II. Mix for a minimum of 15 minutes, until the particles are completely and evenly dispersed in the suspension. Check concentration before use.

Water Bath: In water-based suspensions, conditioning agents are required to improve particle suspendibility, mobility, and surface wetting.

1. Measure out the appropriate amount of water conditioner*, add to water and mix for 5 minutes.

2. Next, measure out the appropriate amount of 14A magnetic particles and add particles to the conditioned water.

3. Add particles directly over the pump for more rapid dispersion.

4. Mix for 15 minutes or until the particles are completely dispersed.

5. Check particle concentration before use.

* Various water conditioners are available, depending on your region; for example: WA-1, AX-52, WA-2, WA-2B, ZAF-2. Please consult the Product Data Sheets for your chosen conditioner. If you are unsure, contact a Magnaflux representative for assistance choosing the best product for your application.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Use 14A with appropriate magnetization procedure and equipment. For best results, all components, parts, or areas to be tested should be clean and dry prior to testing to provide an optimal test surface and reduce particle suspension contamination. Particle suspension must be properly mixed and continuously agitated when in use to ensure uniformity and concentration.

1. Check particle concentration before use.

2. The suspension can be applied by gently spraying or flooding the area to be tested using the continuous or residual application method (see ASTM guidelines for more details on these processes).

3. Inspect under ultra-violet black light.

Maintenance Recommendations

Magnetic particle suspensions need to be properly maintained to provide consistent results. Suspension concentration and contamination should be monitored at least once a day, or according to applicable specifications. Contaminated suspensions, or those in use for an extended length of time, should be replaced. Properly cleaning all components, parts, or inspection areas before testing helps to significantly reduce particle suspension contamination.

Particle concentration should be determined after initial bath preparation and at least once a day, or according to applicable specifications, to maintain the proper level of particles in the suspension. The most widely used method of control is by settling volume measurement in a graduated ASTM pear- shaped centrifuge tube. For testing 14A, Magnaflux centrifuge tube 8493 is recommended: 100 ml capacity, stem graduated from 0 to 1 mL in 0.05 mL increments.
