What is suitable nondestructive testing method for detecting surface cracks on aluminum casing and forgings
The die penetrant inspection method to Detect surface cracks with equal success on aluminum, magnesium, press, copper and titanium. It can also be used on ceramics, plastic and glass
List the steps in a die penetrate inspection
- thoroughly clean the material surface. Two. Apply the penetrant for the specific 12 time. Three. Remove the penetrant with water and emulsifying cleaner. Four. Dry the part. Five. Apply to developer. Six. Inspect the results.
Describe the procedure for performing a magnetic particle inspection
Thoroughly clean all grease oil and dirt from the metal which must be a Farias material such as iron or steel. Magnetize the part then apply the ferromagnetic particles, Either held in liquid suspension or in dry powder form, to the area to be inspected. If a discontinuity is present, demagnetize particles will form a pattern in the approximate shape of the discontinuity
