The Type DN-543 Mognolluxt Unit wqs designed primorily to provide inexpensive equipment lor oircrcrlt overhqul work. It is suiioble for inspection by the wet-olternqting current method ol o greot vcriety ol mqchined pcrts. During overhqul of smoll qircroft engines it is used to inspect criticol ports lor lotigue crcrcks ond similor delects. It moy qlso be used to inspect pcrrts lor grinding ond heci treoting crcrcks crnd vorious other signiliccrnt surlqce discontinuities. This unit is ol compoct, rugged construction crnd hqs <r speciol oil ond weqr resistqnt linish. It is designed Ior mqximum operoting efficiency ond durobility ond requires q minimum ol mqintenqnce.
The DN-543 unit provides cr convenient source ol low-voltoge, high-ompercrge A. C. Ior both mognetizotion crnd demognetization. Inspection of qn orecr lor discontinuities in oll directions

It's a fact.
The car you ride in, the plane that flies you thousands of miles in just a few hours, the barrel of 1-our shotgun-yes, even the porcelain enamel on 1-our kitchen stove or sink, have most likely, at one stage or another, been subjected to the scientific inspection processes created by Magnaflux Corporatioh.

The Magnaflux engineer who rolls up his sleeves to pitch in with production or engineering management of a company is a practical specialist with his feet on the ground, even though he may be "reaching for the stars." His advice and recommendations are accepted with confidence because they are based solidly on extensive experience and continuous training-and because he is backed by an expert staff of research and engineering scientists in the home office and factory. Here's'a close-working team that is understanding in its grasp of problems creative in its proved ability to come up with practical solutions. These men never-let's say it again, neaer suggest a Magnaflux method or unit unless-they know of a certainty that it will do the job expected of it I . It's one of the reasons why the company maintains its position as the undisputed leader in its field.
Users of the various testing methods get the services of intensively trained Magnaflux engineers. All users are thoroughly trained in the correct procedures of inspecting and testing and in interpreting indications of defects. Text books, engineering classes in centralized cities and scientific laboratory services are included in the cooperation which is an integral part of the services which the company extends. These users include nearly all of the large companies in the U.S., and many of the smallest, several thousand in all.

Every activity, each research project of Magnaflux is aimed squarely at helping Industry DETECT DEFECTS-Io find the invisible imperfections that might cause needless, costly and even perilous failures of equipment and materials.

)Iagnaflux Corporation is engaged in the manufacture and sale of equipment for non-destructive testing of structural materials for physical defects. Without these methods, defective parts may be built into all kinds of machinery and equipment, and those parts may fail, to cause serious loss of life and property. From its original, yet-to-be-equalled MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION, the scope of the company's research and engineering has steadily expanded. Now it is playing a vital part in helping a wide variety of manufacturers make their products less costly to buy and better to own through additional methods, such as:
Positive detection of defects in non-magnetic metals and in ceramics. Ultrasonic measurement of dimensions which cannot be directly measured.
Mat'erials and processes for indicating dangerous stresses and strains, used as a guide for designers and manufacturers.

In addition to the manufacture and sale of its testing equipment, Magnaflux Corporation maintains company-operated Field Inspection and Laboratory Inspection Service in strategically located cities.
These services are made available upon a fee basis.

The Field Inspection Service is widely used by operators of large equipment of many kinds as a part of erection or overhaul inspection. It is available to users anywhere in the United States. Magnaflux testing means include; MAGNAFLUX, and fluorescent MAGNAGLO for magnetic materials; ZYGLO for non-magnetic metals and solids; STATIFLUX for non-conducting ceramics, such as porcelain enamel; PARTEK for porous and unfired ceramics, powdered metals, etc.; SONIZON to measure thickness from one side only, with ultrasonics; and STRESSCOAT brittle coatings for stress measurement of actual working parts. They are described on the following pages.

-{pplications of Magnaflux inspection for cracks, foleign inclusions or discontinuities at or near the sul'face are almost limitless. Typical are inspection of steel billets-hot-rolled or cold drawn bar stock forgings plates castings pipe - tubing - weldments -and any steel - parts seamless - tools springs automotive such as machine and aircraft parts. Magnaflux inspection is also routine in most railroad shops and in aircraft, truck and bus overhaul shops . . . and in the Armed Folces-Army, Air Force, and Navy . . . during both manufacture and overhaul of equipment.

How Magnaflux Works A suitable magnetic field is set up in the proper direction within the part with Magnaflux equipment. Sudden interruptions to this magnetic fleld by cracks or discontinuities in the part crowd some of the magnetic flux (i.e. lines of force) outside the surface of the part. These "leakage" fields act as local magnets, and attract and hold
finely divided ferro-magnetic particles as they are applied. This builds up a definite indication at the exact location, showing the extent and shape of

the crack or flaw. The magnetic particles are applied by hand or automatically, either as dry powder or by the "wet" method in suspension in a thin oil carrier. Various colors are provided to
make the crack indications stand out most clearly on any color of surface.

Magnaglo, developed to meet industry's need for speedier inspection, is so fast that it keeps pace with the highest production line volume and speed.

Essentially an extension of Magnaflux Magnetic Particle Inspection, it is the fastest means known for continuous inspection. It is faster even than visual inspection. Magnaglo makes it possible to find defects in small parts at rates up to thousands of pieces per hour. Even large parts, such as railroad axles, are being inspected and euery d,efeet found-with Magnaglo and a single operator, at rates up to and exceeding 150 axles per 8-hour shift. Magnaglo reveals even the smallest crack with a glowing indication so clearly defined that it cannot escape being seen. Defects are instantly observed in normally hard-to-see places, such as in the threads of bolts or in the interiors of holes. For maximum sensitivity plus high-speed inspection Magnaglo offers four pronounced and outstanding advantages: 1. The indications glorv in the darkness to atftact the inspector's eyes. He does not have to search the surface for them.

2. The speed with which the

eyes are attracted to the indications greatly steps up inspection rates and reduces inspection cost per piece.

Inspection with Zyglo shows up defects detrimental to the life of the part; it also makes it easy to distinguish between true defects and harmless scratches or other blemishes. It prevents the needless rejection of sound parts in the same simple application that eliminates rvastefui finishing of defective ones. Zyglo is also used in overhaul inspection, as by railroads and airlines, to find the invisible cracks from service before critical aluminum, stainless, brass or magnesium parts

fail in service. Other specific advantages resulting from tion with Zyglo include:

Typical Defects Reaealed by Zyglo

Shrinkage cracks in castings, aluminum, brass, magnesium or plastics. Fatigue and service cracks in aircraft, railroad, or refinery parts. Forging cracks and laps. Porosity areas in castings, ceramics, etc., and leaks in castings or tank weldments. Lack of bond between bearing surface and backing. Cracks in carbide tips on tools. Cracks in glass seal in vacuum tubes and in many ceramic parts. Cracks in plastic structural parts.

How Zyglo Works A film of Zyglo Fluorescent Penetrant is applied by simply dipping, brushing or spraying. After it has entered all cracks, holes and seams, the surface excess is washed away with water spray and

the part is allowed to dry. Either a dry powder or water-suspension developer is applied to create a dry powder fllm on surfaces to draw Penetrant from the defect. All operations may be automatic. Inspection is conducted under blaek light in a darkened booth. Every defect glows as a brilliant indication. Leak tests are conducted by applying fluorescent Zyglo penetrant to one side of welds or casting walls after which the opposite side is inspected with portable black light. Any leak glows brightly, as a fluorescent line or spot, when the fluorescent penetrant draws through the finest crack or pore.

sound you cannot hear to measure thicknesses you cannot see-or to find hidden defects
u,ses

Measurement of thickness of walls in engine cylinders, tanks, steel propeller blades, sheet metal shapes or irregularly shaped objects was formerly an uncertain and difficult job. Even with both sides "open" to micrometer measurement, procedures have been slow on large objects. Magnaflux Sonizon offers a radically better, quicker way. It has been called: "A micrometer needing only one arm." Using ultrasonics, it makes such measurements as quickly as a crystal probe can be moved over the surface and "reports" its - on the face of a flndings on a direct reading scale cathode ray tube. It instantly detects thin spots in walls or in cast, formed, welded or ground products. It detects defects, including laminations deep below the surface, and reveals lack of bond between metals, as in bearings and joints. In these and many other applications where accuracy and dependability are essential, Sonizon is proving a powerful way to save time and reduce production and inspection costs.

How Inspection with Sonizon Works A constantly-changing range of high frequency electric current is fed to a quartz crystal in the
hand probe. The crystal changes these electrical impulses to ultrasonic (inaudible) sound waves that travel to the opposite face of the material and are reflected back to the crystal. \Vhen they arrive exactly as the next rvaves are ieaving the crystal, an energy change occurs in the electronic circuits. Amplifled, this causes a peak in the line appearing across the cathode ray tube. Location of this peak on a calibrated scale gives a direct reading, as easy to read as a ruler. It is accurate to within 1 to 2/c, for either thickness of material or depth of defect. In use, the crystal is simply slid acr.oss the oiled surface of the part being checked, and continuous readings noted. Sonizon can be used for thicknesses of .010" to 2.00", on an)' material of moderately good sound conducting characteristics, including glass, metals, and plastics.

Sonizon is here useil to obtain a thiclmess read.

On Production Units On Pilot Models
This testing has been called "stress inspection", since stresses in a working part are tested and measured, to flnd weak design spots or overweight designs that waste material. Experimental stress analysis is a recently developed and widely used field of engineering rvhich
is providing new ways to reduce the cost of making better products-and making products iighter and stronger for better service. Stresscoat is a brittle coating, perfected by Magnaflux, which spotlights over-stressed parts, one of the common causes of fatigue failures, and shortens design and testing time. Locating highly stressed areas, makes possible the most economical use of metals rvith no sacrifice of safety

In addition, Sti'esscoat often enables salvage of defective designs of finished parts on hand thlough simple machining. Direct savings of this kind, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, are being reported.

(Belout) Srresscoat is applied here to a pressure housing to determine the actual operating srresses trom a specified internal hydraulic pressure, and shous stress concentration points.

Application is Simple
on the part to be tested.

Stresscoat brittle coating is sprayed Iike a paint At the same time a simple metal bar is sprayed. Both are allowed to dry. The bar is used to evaluate and measure the clacking of Stresscoat so that strain levels are actually measured.

The part under test is loaded by actual operation, or by simulated loading in the laboratory. The crack patterns in the Stresscoat show areas of highest stress, direction of stress and forecast location and direction of possible failure. The overall stress picture on the entire part is obtained b1. continued loading.

If You Han)e an Inspection Problem

. . . Let's Look

It Ouer Together!

You'll find it's good business to get acquainted with the Magnaflux engineer. He's a specialist. And his specialty is knowing how to find defects in materials and parts positively and - defects, so theyeconomically, and knowing what causes those won't occur again. He knows his business-this business of detecting defects as do few, if any, other men. Call him scientist, engi- trouble-shooter; neer or it doesn't matter. What does matter is the fact that his entire career is concerned with finding the right solutions to inspection problems, no matter how individual.
Backing him up at his every need and call is the whole engineering and -research organization of Magnaflux Corporation. At his command are the extensive resources of Magnaflux its complete of equipment and material used by - industries for line - all other more more inspection operations than methods combined.
No matter how unique your inspection problems, a logical first step toward solving them is to call in the Magnaflux engineer. His experience and authoritative know-how are yours for the asking. Simply drop us a line and meetings will be scheduled

to suit your

convenience.

In addition, you can benefit from the extensive literature Magnaflux has available. It covers in detail the non-destructive testing methods touched upon so briefly in these pages. It includes case histories and examples of specific applications, as well as reprints of technical editorial material, all relating to aspects of non-destructive inspection. If you rvili just give us some idea of the nature of your operations, '*'e'll gladly send you literature relating most closely to 1'our problems and needs.
