Summary of Practice4.1 A liquid penetrant is applied evenly over the surfacebeing tested and allowed to

19、enter open discontinuities. After asuitable dwell time, the excess surface penetrant is removed bywiping and the surface is dried. If an aqueous developer is tobe employed, the developer is applied prior to the drying step.A developer is then applied, drawing the entrapped penetrantout of the discon

20、tinuity, staining the developer. The test surfaceis then examined visually to determine the presence or absenceof indications.4.2 Processing parameters, such as precleaning, penetrationtime, etc., are determined by the specific materials used, thenature of the part under examination (that is, size,

21、shape,surface condition, alloy), and type of discontinuities expected.5. Significance and Use5.1 Liquid penetrant examination methods indicate thepresence, location, and, to a limited extent, the nature andmagnitude of the detected discontinuities. This practice isintended primarily for portability

22、and for localized areas ofexamination, utilizing minimal equipment. Surface roughnessmay be a limiting factor. If so, an alternate process, such aswater-wash visible or post-emulsified penetrant should beconsidered when grinding or machining is not practical.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Visible, Sol

23、vent-Removable Liquid Penetrant TestingMaterials, (see Note 1) consist of a family of applicable visiblepenetrant, solvent remover, as recommended by themanufacturer, and are classified as Type II Visible, MethodCSolvent-Removable. Penetrant materials shall conform toAMS 2644 unless approved by the

24、contract or Level III.Intermixing of materials from various manufacturers is notrecommended. (WarningWhile approved penetrant materi-als will not adversely affect common metallic materials, someplastics or rubber may be swollen or stained by certainpenetrants.)NOTE 1Refer to 8.1 for special requirem

25、ents for sulfur, halogen, andalkali metal content.6.2 Visible, Solvent-Removable Penetrants are designed sothat excess surface penetrant can be removed by wiping withdry, clean, lint-free material, and repeating the operation untilmost of the penetrant has been removed. The remaining tracesshall be

26、removed by wiping the surface with clean, lint-freematerial lightly moistened with the solvent remover. To mini-mize removal of penetrant from discontinuities, care should betaken to avoid the use of excess solvent. Flushing the surfacewith solvent to remove the excess penetrant is prohibited.Visibl

27、e penetrant examination makes use of a penetrant that isvisible under normal lighting conditions. The penetrant isusually red in color so that the indications produce a definitecontrast with the visible background of the developer. Visiblepenetrant indications must be viewed under adequate visibleli

28、ght (see 7.1.8.1).6.3 Solvent Removers function by dissolving the penetrant,making it possible to wipe the surface clean and free of residualpenetrant as described in 7.1.5.6.4 DevelopersDevelopment of penetrant indications isthe process of bringing the penetrant out of open discontinui-ties through

29、 blotting action of the applied developer, thusincreasing the visibility of the penetrant indications. Thedeveloper used shall provide a contrasting white background.Nonaqueous, wet developers and aqueous developers are themost commonly used developers in the visible, solvent-removable penetrant pro

30、cess. Liquid film developers also areused for special applications.6.4.1 Nonaqueous, Wet Developers are normally supplied assuspensions of developer particles in a volatile solvent carrierand are ready for use as supplied. They are applied to thesurface by spraying after the excess penetrant has bee

31、nremoved and the surface has dried. Nonaqueous, wet develop-ers form a white coating on the surface of the part when driedand serve as a contrasting background for visible penetrants(see 7.1.7.1(a). (WarningThis type of developer is intendedfor application by spray only.)6.4.2 Aqueous Developers are

32、 normally supplied as drypowder particles to be either suspended or dissolved (soluble)in water. The concentration, use and maintenance shall be inaccordance with manufacturers recommendations (see7.1.7.1(b). (WarningAqueous developers may cause strip-ping of indications, if not properly applied and

33、 controlled. Theprocedure should be qualified in accordance with 9.2.)6.4.3 Liquid Film Developers are solutions or colloidalsuspensions of resins/polymer in a suitable carrier. Thesedevelopers will form a transparent or translucent coating on thesurface of the part. Certain types of film developer

Procedure7.1 The following general procedure applies to the solvent-removable, v

36、isible penetrant examination method (see Fig. 1).7.1.1 Temperature LimitsThe temperature of the penetrantmaterials and the surface of the part to be processed should befrom 40 to 125F (4 to 52C). Where it is not practical tocomply with these temperature limitations, the procedure mustbe qualified at

37、 the temperature of intended use as described in9.2.7.1.2 Surface Conditioning Prior to Penetrant InspectionSatisfactory results can usually be obtained on surfaces in theas-welded, as-rolled, as-cast, or as-forged conditions or forceramic in the densified condition. When only loose surfaceresiduals

38、 are present, these may be removed by wiping thesurface with clean lint-free cloths. However, precleaning ofmetals to remove processing residuals such as oil, graphite,scale, insulating materials, coatings, and so forth, should bedone using cleaning solvents, vapor degreasing or chemicalremoving pro

39、cesses. Surface conditioning by grinding,machining, polishing or etching shall follow shot, sand, gritand vapor blasting to remove the peened skin and whenpenetrant entrapment in surface irregularities might mask theindications of unacceptable discontinuities or otherwise inter-fere with the effecti

40、veness of the examination. For metals,unless otherwise specified, etching shall be performed whenevidence exists that previous cleaning, surface treatments orservice usage have produced a surface condition that degradesthe effectiveness of the examination. (See Annex on CleaningParts and Materials i

41、n Practice E165/E165M for generalprecautions relative to surface preparation.)NOTE 2When agreed between purchaser and supplier, grit blastingwithout subsequent etching may be an acceptable cleaning method.(WarningSand or shot blasting may possibly close indications andextreme care should be used wit

42、h grinding and machining operations.)NOTE 3For structural or electronic ceramics, surface preparation bygrinding, sand blasting and etching for penetrant examination is notrecommended because of the potential for damage.7.1.3 Removal of Surface Contaminants:7.1.3.1 PrecleaningThe success of any pene

43、trant exami-nation procedure is greatly dependent upon the surface anddiscontinuity being free of any contaminant that might interferewith the penetrant process. All parts or areas of parts to beinspected must be clean and dry before the penetrant is applied.If only a section of a part, such as a we

44、ld, including theheat-affected zone is to be examined, all contaminants shall beremoved from the area being examined as defined by thecontracting parties. “Clean” is intended to mean that thesurface must be free of any rust, scale, welding flux, spatter,grease, paint, oily films, dirt, etc., that mi

45、ght interfere withpenetration. All of these contaminants can prevent the pen-etrant from entering discontinuities (see Annex on Cleaning ofIncoming PartsPRECLEAN(See 7.1.3.1)Alkaline Steam VaporDegreaseSolventWashAcidEtchMechanical Paint Stripper Ultrasonic DetergentDRY(See 7.1.3.2)DryPENETRANTAPPLI

(WarningResidues from cleaningprocesses, such as strong alkalies p

48、ickling solutions andchromates in particular, may adversely react with the penetrantand reduce its sensitivity and performance.)7.1.3.2 Drying After CleaningIt is essential that the areato be examined be thoroughly dry after cleaning, since anyliquid residue will hinder the entrance of the penetrant

49、. Dryingmay be accomplished by warming the parts in drying ovens,with infrared lamps, forced hot or cold air, or exposure toambient temperature.7.1.4 Penetrant ApplicationAfter the area to be examinedhas been cleaned, dried, and is within the specified temperaturerange, apply the penetrant to the surface to be inspected so thatthe entire part or area under examination is completely coveredwith penetrant.7.1.4.1 Modes of ApplicationThere are various modes ofeffective application of penetrant such as immersion, brushing,flooding, or spraying.
