MAGNAFLUX 7HF Black Ink

Magnaflux 7HF Black Ink is a high-performance, non-destructive testing (NDT) product used for liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) processes. It is specifically designed to be used as a black contrast ink to enhance the visibility of indications (such as cracks or surface defects) during penetrant testing, particularly in cases where the use of fluorescent penetrants is not required.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. High-Contrast Black Color:
   • Magnaflux 7HF Black Ink provides a deep, consistent black background, which is ideal for highlighting visible indications against the surface. This makes it easier to identify surface defects such as cracks, voids, and porosity during the inspection process.
2. Compatible with Visible Dye Penetrants:
   • The ink is designed to be used with visible dye penetrants, providing excellent contrast and improving the visibility of surface defects under normal lighting conditions.
3. Fast Drying:
   • This black ink dries quickly, reducing inspection time and allowing technicians to proceed with the next stages of the testing process without unnecessary delays.
4. Smooth and Even Coverage:
   • The ink is formulated to apply smoothly and evenly, ensuring a uniform surface for accurate inspection results.
5. Non-Corrosive:
   • The ink is non-corrosive, ensuring that it does not damage the material being tested. It is safe to use on a variety of metals, plastics, and ceramics.
6. Easy to Apply:
   • Magnaflux 7HF Black Ink can be easily applied using spray, brush, or dip methods, providing flexibility in how it is used in different inspection environments.

Common Uses:

• Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT):
  • Used in non-destructive testing processes to enhance the visibility of surface-breaking defects when using visible dye penetrants.
• Weld Inspection:
  • Commonly used in the inspection of welded joints to detect cracks or defects that may compromise the structural integrity of the weld.
• Aerospace, Automotive, and Manufacturing Industries:
  • Essential in industries that require rigorous quality control, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, for inspecting components like turbine blades, engine parts, and structural materials.
• Inspection of Castings and Forgings:
  • Ideal for inspecting castings and forgings, where visible surface defects need to be detected quickly and accurately.

How to Use:

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any contaminants such as oil, grease, dirt, or rust. A clean surface ensures that the black ink adheres properly and does not interfere with the inspection process.
2. Application of Black Ink:
   • Apply a thin, even coat of Magnaflux 7HF Black Ink to the surface using your preferred method (spray, brush, or dip). Allow the ink to dry completely to form a smooth black background.
3. Application of Penetrant:
   • After the black ink has dried, apply the appropriate visible dye penetrant to the surface. The penetrant will enter any surface-breaking defects and will be visible against the black background.
4. Inspection:
   • Once the penetrant has been allowed to penetrate any defects, apply a developer (if required) and inspect the surface for any indications. The surface-breaking defects will appear as bright-colored marks on the black background.
5. Clean Up:
   • After the inspection, clean the surface to remove any remaining penetrant, ink, or developer. Follow the appropriate disposal methods for any waste materials.
