SP1 Red Dye Penetrant
(Solvent Removable)
The perfect no mess solution for the application of either Fluorescent orRed Dye Penetrants!
Magnaflux is pleased to introduce a new and unique way to inspect small parts or
small areas without the mess and penetrant overspray associated with aerosol cans.
Zyglo and Spotcheck Penetrant Pens contain the same proven Magnaflux materials,but in easy-to-use pens. They are a sure bet in making it easy inspecting reworked
parts, where only a small area needs to be processed.
Ideal for testing small parts and areas
Solvent removable
Ultra high sensitivity (Zylgo)
No Mess

We are pleased to introduce a brandnew, heavy-duty powder detergentnamed DARACLEANLC5.
LC5 is a heavy-duty, cost effec-tive, powder detergent for use withmost metals and hard surfaces. Thisnew product has proved success-ful in removing dirt, grease, grime,
oil, waxes, and buffing compounds.Using powerful chemical action,oils and solids are broken down andpulled free from part surfaces whileinhibitors prevent surface pittingand corrosion. LC5 brings all thesebenefits together in an economicalpowder form.
For further information on thisnew powder detergent, contact

The latest revision of ASTM E-1417 included an update of Section 7.1.1,reflecting the ongoing trend moving away from solvents for cleaning. Thenew wording clearly puts aqueous-based cleaning on an even level to thetraditional solvent cleaning and vapor degreasing.
Solvent cleaning remains the simplest method for preparing a surface forpenetrant inspection. However, there can be several disadvantages, suchas flammability, VOCs, health and safety hazards, high material costs, andhigh disposal costs. All of these issues disappear when using an aqueouscleaning process. When changing over from solvent to an aqueous process,there are new factors to consider:
Parts must be washed, rinsed, and dried
Regular laboratory checks of cleaner concentration
Base material compatibility with cleaner
Specification compliance
In addition, aqueous pre-cleaning needs to be setup up correctly to ensurea successful inspection. When alkaline cleaners are not sufficiently rinsed,residues can mask surface flaws and degrade the dyes in both visible andfluorescent penetrant. Adequate rinsing is necessary to ensure all the soils
and cleaner are removed. Rinsing with RO or DI water would be preferredto obtain a residue-free surface for inspection. Water remaining on thesurface will prevent the penetrant from entering small cracks, so the partmust be thoroughly dry before applying penetrant. Likewise, flash-rustingcan mask small flaws and prevent the penetrant from wetting the surface,so an aqueous cleaner that includes corrosion inhibitors is recommended.
As always, pre-cleaning should be performed according to the specificguidelines set by the cognizant engineering organization or governingspecification for the inspection.
New ASTM Revision Reflects
Trend Toward Aqueous Cleaners

ASTM E-1417-05
Section 7.1.1 (Rewritten to include alternate cleaning methods.)
One or more appropriate cleaning methods such as solvent cleaning,
vapor degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning, aqueous-based cleaning, or meth-
ods agreed upon with the cognizant engineering organization shall be used
for the removal of oils, greases, and waxes, and as the final step before
penetrant examination. If etching is required, the parts shall be appropri-
ately cleaned, then etched and delivered to penetrant examination.

The following is an open letter sent by Magnaflux to Committee Kand Committee E07 regarding tool steel ring performance issues
that have been reported to us by several customers:
Magnaflux Offers Solution to Tool Steel Rings Issues
by Phyllis Doyle
ACCESSORY PRODUCT MANAGER
SUBJECT: TOOL STEEL RING
This letter is being written to bringattention to an issue regarding Tool
Steel Test Rings (Ketos Rings) and theiradherence to the requirements of the
AS-5282 specification. When this speci-fication was first developed in the late1990s the machinery used to create the
table of predicted indications was a onephase FWDC output unit. At this time
Magnaflux recognized a potential prob-lem, as the original intent of using the
Tool Steel Rings to analyze sensitivity ofdry powders required the use of a 3 phaseFWDC machine. Three phase and single
phase FWDC machines perform differ-ently, particularly at low amperage levels.
The issue at hand is the differ-ence of magnetizing current available
between single phase FWDC units andthree phase FWDC units, especially in
the 0 1000 amp output range. Belowyou will find two pictures. Each picture
shows three rings, one manufactured byMagnaflux and the other two by differ-ent manufacturers. In one picture the
rings were processed using a single phaseFWDC MPI unit. In the other picture
the rings were processed using a threephase FWDC MPI unit. In all cases therings were processed at 500 amps using
the same MPI bath. The differences inthe rings performance are apparent. The
one phase FWDC unit produces sharper,more distinct indications.
The results from this evalua-tion identify a problem with current
specifications regarding Tool Steel TestRings. 500 amps delivered by a singlephase FWDC MPI unit is not necessar-
ily equivalent to 500 amps delivered bya three phase FWDC MPI unit. The
Ketos Rings we have evaluated that havebeen manufactured by our competitors
do not meet the letter of the overridingspecifications at low amperage levels, yet
they are being shipped as certified KetosRings. Magnaflux has recognized thisissue in our own Ketos Rings, and have
taken the correct action of stopping ship-ment of Ketos Rings until this issue can
be resolved.The good news regarding the AS-
5282 specification is that it has led to theproduction of more consistent Tool SteelTest Rings, which are also more similar in
performance. In addition, it appears thatRings have become much more consis-
tent from batch to batch. However, theissue regarding magnetizing current is an
issue that we feel must be resolved.
Offered Solution:
Magnaflux recommends that the tablesin ASTM E-1444 and AS-5282 be
used as a guide, and that Ketos Ringperformance should not be specifically
held to these parameters. Actual ringperformance needs to be monitored on aday to day basis (taking into account the
type of machine being used to providemagnetizing current). Customers should
then simply monitor any changes to theperformance of the Ketos Ring withinthe controlled environment (amperage
setting, bath quality, bath timing, etc.)of a specific magnetic particle inspection
machine or system. In this way theTool Steel Ring will become a useful
tool similar to the PM-5 Panel utilizedtoday to monitor complete system
functionality of Penetrant Inspectionsystems.
Magnaflux Position:
During the course of attempting to fully
understand this issue, Magnaflux sus-pended the shipment of Ketos Rings to
our customers. The only issue we haveidentified with the performance of ourRings is at the 500 amp level. In ALL
other aspects the rings have met orexceeded specification requirements. All
rings produced by other manufacturersthat we have evaluated have yielded the
exact same results.Because Magnaflux understands
changes to specification language will
take time, and because we know our ringsare the same or superior to the other
rings on the market, we have resumedthe Ketos Ring shipments. This letter
accompanies each ring as an explanationregarding the 500 amp level issue facingthe entire industry.
