Description

Deutroflux Test Benches Product information

The Deutroflux Magnetic Particle Test Bench is available as UWE 350, 600 or 900

This Flaw Detector uses the skin effect of an AC for uniform magnetisation and demagnetisation without problems, even in the case of complicated work pieces.

Two phase-shifted AC currents generate a rotating magnetic field; thus, cracks of any direction are indicated in a single process.

Operating errors are impossible by automatic cycle sequence (clamping, spraying, magnetising, post and demagnetising).

Electronic and pneumatic modules from world-wide well-known manufacturers guarantee highest operational reliability and service of the Deutroflux, even after a number of years.

Flanged switch cabinet well accessible for operation and service.

Main features of the Deutroflux:

Most application problems in magnetic particle testing can be solved by testing systems with two contacts. In this case, the parts to be tested are often manually placed into the respective supports of the Deutroflux testing system, and, subsequently, it pneumatically clamps the test piece. The next step comprises magnetization and spraying with a crack detection agent. This takes about 4 seconds.

Usually a multi-directional magnetization is employed. A longitudinal current is fed through the test piece, generating a circular magnetic field (direct current flow). This circular field enables the detection of longitudinal cracks. Additionally, coils are mounted to the workpiece supports of the Deutroflux testing system. Therefore, at the same time, a longitudinal magnetic field is produced which allows the detection of transverse cracks (field flow).

Usually both magnetic fields are phase-shifted alternating fields which oscillate according to the mains frequency (50 or 60 Hz, respectively). The resulting rotating magnetic field facilitates the detection of defects of all orientations.

For the next step of the test cycle, spraying with crack detection agent is stopped and the magnetic field is kept constant for another 2 seconds approx.: this is the so-called post-magnetization. During this time, the magnetic particles (iron or iron-oxide powder) in the agent form the crack indications. Most agents use fluorescent particles and therefore the crack indications are evaluated under UV-light. The particles are usually applied to the test part in an aqueous suspension via spraying showers.

The demagnetization can be carried out directly within the testing system by reducing the field strengths to zero. Alternatively, a separate coil outside the testing system can be used.

Features at a glance
