Product Information

Magnaflux Magnaglo 14HF Fluorescent Ink

Magnaglo 14HF is an oil-based, ready to use fluorescent ink for wet method magnetic particle testing. It gives clear bright yellow/green indications when viewed in a darkened area under UV(A) of peak wavelength 365nm.

Used with suitable magnetising equipment to locate fine surface slightly sub-surface discontinuities in ferrous materials. Magnaglo 14HF is widely regarded as the test material of choice for aerospace applications.

Composition

A suspension of magnetic particles in a high-flash, low-odour petroleum distillate.

Instructions for use

Clean the component before testing to reduce the risk of contamination and provide a suitable test surface.

Mix the Magnaglo 14HF ink thoroughly and keep it agitated during testing.

Apply the ink by spraying, flooding or immersion, depending on your chosen method (see below):

Wet continuous method
Apply the ink to all surfaces of the component and apply a magnetising current. Remember to stop the flow of ink before the current is switched off, otherwise there is a risk that the force of the ink flood may wash away indications.

Wet residual method
This method is generally less sensitive than the continuous method and is more susceptible to rapid particle depletion and bath contamination.

• Pre-magnetise the part to be tested.
• Immerse the part in a bath of the ink.
• Remove it and allow it to drain.
• Inspect the part.

During use, the magnetic content of any ink bath will become depleted so you will need to check your bath strength at least once each day. The most widely-used way of checking an ink’s settlement volume is by using a graduated ASTM pear-shaped centrifuge tube.

When the settlement volume approaches the lower limit (0.15 ml), check the bath. If the bath appears contaminated, or if it has been in use for a long time, replace the contents. If it is still clean and uncontaminated, add some Magnaglo 14A powder.

After inspection, remember to completely de-magnetise your component before cleaning, to ensure easy removal of any residual powder particles.
