Magnaflux and Magnaglo materials

Magnaflux and Magnaglo materials are used with Magnetic Particle Inspection systems to locate surface and subsurface flaws in ferrous parts.

  • Dry and wet particles available to suit your needs.
  • Choose from fluorescent (UV inspection) or non-fluorescent (daylight) inspection.
  • Particle size is controlled to ensure maximum sensitivity.
  • Fluorescent particles are encapsulated to minimize separation of fluorescence from particles.

ZAF-2

  • Concentration 3-5 drops/15 gals.
  • pH 4.0

Available in 1 gallon pails.

NOTE: Wetting agents enable easier suspension of magnetic particles and better wetting of parts being inspected so that full coverage is achieved. Corrosion inhibitors retard water’s attack on the magnetic particles and thus extend bath life. They also help prevent corrosion of parts during processing and protect any exposed inspection machinery parts. They are not designed to provide long-term corrosion protection for stored parts after testing. When long term protection is required, an oil vehicle or a separate anti-corrosion treatment is recommended. Anti-foaming agents suppress the natural tendency of a wetting agent to create foam when agitated.
