Fluorescent Penetrant Method4.1 Perform fluorescent penetrant inspection of metallicsurgical implants in accordance with Practice E 165, MethodA.4.2 The penetrant system used shall conform to a minimumof Sensitivity Level 3, in accordance with the latest revision ofAMS 2644.4.3 All penet

7、rant materials shall be compatible with eachother.5. Penetrant Method Materials Control5.1 The penetrant method materials deteriorate in usefulnessthrough contamination and age. The following controls shouldbe used to evaluate the materials usefulness unless thesuppliers requirements are more string

8、ent:5.1.1 Penetrants:5.1.1.1 Water ContentWhere there is a possibility ofwater contamination to penetrant materials, the water contentshould be determined by Test Method D 95. The water contentshall not exceed 10 %. The frequency of testing shall be at leastonce every 30 days for open containers.5.1

9、.1.2 Fluorescent BrightnessFluorescent brightnessshould be determined at least once every 30 days or before useby comparison of samples of the working penetrant to a sampleof new penetrant under black light. No visible difference shallbe allowed.5.1.2 Developer:5.1.2.1 DryThe developer should be dry

10、 and fluffy. De-velopers showing evidence of fluorescence when compared tonew developer shall not be used.5.1.2.2 WetA method should be employed to ensureadequate suspension of the wet developer prior to use. Thespecific gravity of the developer should be from 1.018 to 1.034.This method does not app

11、ly to nonaqueous solvent developerdue to the volatile nature of the product.5.1.3 Black LightsBlack lights used for fluorescent pen-etrant inspection should be checked for black light output (witha filter) for a minimum of 800 W/cm2at a distance of 381 mm(15 in.) from the lamp face. This measurement

12、 could bedetermined by using a calibrated black light meter. Thefrequency of testing shall be at least once every 7 days orbefore use.6. Evaluation6.1 A general method of evaluating fluorescent penetrantindications is encompassed in Reference Photographs E 433.1This practice is under the jurisdictio

Keywords8.1 fluorescent; penetrant inspection; testing methods; sur-gical implantsAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 A method of nondestructive inspection, known asfluorescent penetrant inspection, i

17、s employed as a qualitycontrol tool for surgical devices. This method of inspection isnot only used by the manufacturers, but by their suppliers andalso independent testing laboratories. This method has beenused for over twenty years for the nondestructive examinationof surgical implants and devices

18、. Fluorescent penetrant inspec-tion provides a sensitive method of detecting surface imper-fections such as scratches, cracks, surface porosity, and weld-ing joint imperfections.X1.2 Fluorescent penetrant inspection uses specially for-mulated penetrating oil, manufactured by many sources, whichalso

19、has a fluorescent dye as part of its formula. The method ofinspection allows for the fluorescent penetrating oil to entersurface discontinuities; a subsequent process removes all othersurface remnants of the penetrating oil, thus leaving thefluorescent material only in surface discontinuities. A fin

20、al“developer” is applied to bring out the penetrating oil from thediscontinuities. Then an ultra violet light (black light) is used toinspect the part for the presence of the fluorescent material.This method allows for highly sensitive examination of smalldiscontinuities that normally would not be v

21、isible by unaidedvisual inspection.X1.3 Due to a variety of specifications being applied to theinspection of surgical implants and devices, a task force wasformed under Committee F04 to standardize methods forfluorescent penetrant inspection of metallic surgical implants;the result was Practice F 60

22、1. The task force, comprised of alarge cross section of manufacturers, testing experts, govern-ment representatives, and other interested parties, developed auniversally accepted practice for surgical implants and devices.X1.4 This is a standard practice and is only intended toconfirm the standardiz

23、ed method of obtaining and evaluatingthe fluorescent penetrant indications, as well as the evaluationof the materials used in the testing method. This practice is notintended to set acceptance standards; this type of specificationwould be extremely difficult due to such variables as surfacefinish (t

24、hat is, mechanically polished, vapor blasted, electropolished, and so forth); manufacturing method (that is,wrought, forged, cast, and so forth); as well as other variablesin surface texture.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee F04 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the la

25、st issue (F 601 98)that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved Sept. 10, 2003.)(1) Changed MIL-I-25135 to AMS 2644 in paragraphs 2.3 and4.2. MIL-I-25135E, Notice 1, 13 March 1998 states, “Futureacquisitions for this material should refer to SAE AMS 2644.”(2) Added Summary of Changes section.
