Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aviation materials, in particular to a device for testing the removability of fluorescent penetrants. Background Art
[0002] Fluorescent penetrant is an auxiliary chemical used to detect surface defects and microcracks in metal workpieces, ceramics, and non-metallic materials. It is widely used to detect surface defects and microcracks in aircraft high-strength steel, nickel-based alloys, titanium alloys, and cast magnesium alloys.
[0003] When inspecting aircraft parts for surface defects and microcracks, they are first immersed in a fluorescent penetrant to completely wet the surface. The fluorescent penetrant then penetrates the defects or microcracks on the component surface. The fluorescence is then observed under ultraviolet light to confirm the defects or microcracks on the aircraft component. After the inspection, the fluorescent penetrant on the component surface is thoroughly cleaned to prevent prolonged contact with the aircraft component, which could cause corrosion and render the component scrapped. Therefore, a key indicator of the fluorescent penetrant during airworthiness verification is the removability test, which verifies whether the fluorescent penetrant can be completely removed under standard cleaning process conditions. Different cleaning methods and approaches significantly affect the results of the fluorescent penetrant removal test, resulting in poor reproducibility of the test results. Utility Model Content
