Abstract

878,751. Detecting surface flaws. ROLLSROYCE Ltd. Feb. 10, 1960 [Feb. 18, 1959; July 8, 1959], Nos. 5647/59 and 23545/59. Class 106 (2). A method of detecting flaws, for example, cracks in a liquid impermeable surface of a body comprises applying a liquid penetrant, for example, a fluorescent liquid penetrant to the surface so that it penetrates into the flaws, employing a finely divided particulate material to remove the penetrant from the unflawed parts of the surface while leaving the penetrant in the flaws and while leaving the surface substantially unimpaired in quality and dimensions, and rendering visible the penetrant which has been left in the flaws. The particulate material may comprise powdered plum stones or powdered walnut shells which may be blown on to the surface to remove the penetrant, or alternatively the penetrant may be removed by barrelling the body in a water-saturated aggregate comprising a mixture of the particulate material and granite or aloxite barrelling chips. The particulate material is then removed by blowing air on to the body or by a cold water wash after which the body is dipped in hot water and dried. The body is then submerged for a period in a powder, for example, silica or talc, which is adapted to absorb or adsorb the liquid penetrant in the flaw. The surplus powder having been removed the powder clearly indicates the flaw or flaws when viewed in a dark room under ultra-violet light.
