MG118 Product Specifications

The following details identify the manufacturer-listed MG118 packaging configuration.

Technical characteristics and process requirements must be verified against the latest applicable manufacturer documentation.

Understanding the Function of MG118 Magnetic Powder

Magnetic Particle Inspection is a non-destructive testing method used to investigate relevant surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.

During the specified inspection process, a magnetic field is applied to the component.

Discontinuities may produce magnetic flux leakage that attracts magnetic particles and forms indications.

MG118 supplies fluorescent magnetic particles for this type of inspection.

When used in the appropriate suspension and inspected under the specified illumination conditions, fluorescent particle accumulations can be observed and evaluated by qualified inspection personnel.

MG118 does not independently determine whether an indication represents a rejectable defect. The inspection method, magnetic field, viewing conditions and applicable acceptance criteria determine how the results are evaluated.

Manufacturer-Documented Characteristics

Fluorescent Brightness

BABBCO describes MG118 as having excellent fluorescent brightness.

This characteristic is relevant to fluorescent magnetic particle inspection, where indications are examined using appropriate UV-A illumination.

The manufacturer does not establish that every indication will be visible under all conditions. The examination must follow the required lighting and inspection procedure.

Low Background Noise

The product is described as providing limited background noise.

Background fluorescence can affect how clearly magnetic particle indications are distinguished from the surrounding test surface.

Actual background conditions depend on the component, suspension, inspection parameters and preparation procedure.

Performance on Rough Surfaces

BABBCO identifies excellent results on rough surfaces as a product characteristic.

This is relevant to the selection of fluorescent magnetic particles for inspection tasks involving components with differing surface finishes.

However, rough-surface performance should not be interpreted as unrestricted suitability for every surface condition or inspection requirement.

Organic Suspension Format

MG118 is supplied as a powder intended for organic suspension.

It must not be confused with a pre-mixed magnetic ink or assumed to be suitable for preparation with water unless the applicable manufacturer instructions specifically permit it.

MG118 Powder vs Ready-to-Use Magnetic Ink

Fluorescent magnetic testing materials can be supplied in different formats.

The distinction between powder and ready-to-use magnetic ink is important when preparing purchasing specifications.

BABBCO identifies KP118 as a related fluorescent magnetic detecting medium.

The manufacturer also refers to MG118 when describing KP118 suspension adjustment.

This relationship does not mean that MG118 should be added to any magnetic ink without verification of the approved procedure.

Where MG118 Fits in Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Inspection

MG118 is associated with the magnetic particle application and examination stages of an approved inspection procedure.

Inspection Preparation

Before magnetic particle testing, the component and inspection area must meet the relevant preparation requirements.

Surface condition, material suitability and the selected magnetic testing technique influence the inspection process.

Suspension Preparation

MG118 requires a suitable organic carrier and preparation according to the applicable Technical Data Sheet.

The concentration, mixing requirements and suspension condition must follow the approved process.

Magnetization and Particle Application

In magnetic particle inspection, particles are applied in conjunction with the required magnetization technique.

The appropriate method depends on the component geometry, inspection objectives and governing specification.

Fluorescent Examination

Fluorescent magnetic particle indications are examined under the specified UV-A lighting and ambient visible-light conditions.

The viewing requirements must be verified against the relevant inspection standard.

Inspection Interpretation

Qualified personnel evaluate relevant indications in accordance with applicable acceptance criteria.

MG118 is a magnetic detecting material, not an automatic defect-classification system.
