What is Magnaflux used for?

Magnetic particle (Magnaflux Inspection) inspection is a method for detecting cracks, laps, seams, voids, pits, subsurface holes, and other surface, or slightly subsurface, discontinuities in ferro-magnetic materials. Magnetic particle inspection can be used only on ferro-magnetic materials (iron and steel).

What is the result of a magnet cracks?

A crack part way through the magnet will cause polarity and a magnetic field at the crack, which will hold iron powder and build up an indication of the crack. This is the principle of producing indications by means of circular magnetization. wire creates a magnetic field around the wire.

Can you Magnaflux a crankshaft?

Magnaflux Services : Engine Blocks,Crankshafts, Cylinder Heads, Connecting Rods. Crack detection is done with the use of Magnaflux technology at R & L Engines. We have several ASTM Level II technicians trained to properly identify any inclusions before components are put back into operation.

How much does Magnafluxing cost?

about $105 to $130
The hot tank, pressure testing, and the Magnaflux test cost about $105 to $130. If the mains need to be align-honed (bored), add $180.

What is Magnafluxing engine block?

The Magnaflux process utilizes an electrical current to produce magnetism in the part being checked, a solution containing iron powder is flowed over the part. The components having been magnetized will draw the iron powder to the void area “crack” . Utilizing the ultraviolet black light clearly shows the flow “crack”.

What is magnetic crack detection?

Magnetic crack detection method is valuable for the detection of crack present at the surface of a component made from a magnetic material. This method is based on the fact that the faces of a crack tend to form north and south poles if a magnetic flux is established in the component.

How much is a block of Magnaflux?

The hot tank, pressure testing, and the Magnaflux test cost about $105 to $130. If the mains need to be align-honed (bored), add $180. Decking the block runs about $180.

How much does it cost to Magnaflux an engine?

The hot tank, pressure testing, and the Magnaflux test cost about $105 to $130. If the mains need to be align-honed (bored), add $180. Decking the block runs about $180. On the high end we have spent about $640; on the low end, $575.
