Magnaflux 14A Wet Method Fluorescent Magnetic Particles

Discover the power of highly sensitive magnetic particle powder with Magnaflux 14A fluorescent mag particles, expertly designed to detect fine discontinuities in critical applications and parts. With strong fluorescent properties, these particles are crafted with an optimized range of sizes and shapes, ensuring swift movement toward indications while minimizing background noise and clumping. This leads to faster inspections, enhanced reliability, and greater confidence in your results.

Ideal for inspecting machined and welded components, these particles excel in post-processing evaluations and critical in-service inspections. They effectively test smooth surface finishes to uncover inclusions, seams, shrink cracks, tears, laps, flakes, and other defects.

Magnaflux 14A particles comply with all major industry and NDT specification requirements, including those set by Aerospace, ASTM, and ISO 9934 standards.

Benefits

Increases indication detection

  • Utilize the highly sensitive, strong ferromagnetic 14A particles to identify smaller, finer indications in critical applications.
  • Optimized particle size and shape facilitate free movement and adherence to a wide variety of discontinuities, reducing clumping.

Minimizes inspection time

  • Experience quick formation of clear, bright fluorescent indications thanks to the highly mobile particles.
  • Reduced background fluorescence allows indications to stand out, enabling inspectors to spend less time on each part.

Improves inspection consistency and reliability

  • Maintain magnetic particle system performance over extended periods with our durable, easily-dispersed 14A particles.
  • Minimized particle clumping ensures consistent particle concentration in the suspension bath for reliable inspections.

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.
