Penetrant testing is a non-destructive testing method based on the principle of capillary action to inspect surface opening defects. Penetrant testing can be used to detect the surface opening defects of metal and non-metal workpieces, which is not affected by the structure, chemical composition and defect shape of the inspected workpieces. However, conventional penetrant testing cannot or is difficult to inspect porous materials, and is not suitable for detecting defects that the opening is blocked due to external factors. Because of its simplicity and easy operation, penetrant testing is widely used in various fields of modern industry.

The main application of penetrant testing is to inspect the surface opening defects of metal (steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, copper alloy, heat-resistant alloy, etc.) and non-metallic (plastic, ceramic, etc.) workpieces, such as surface cracks.

Penetrant nondestructive testing and Pt penetrant testing of weldments: the basic principle of dye (penetrant) testing is to use capillarity to make the penetrant penetrate into the defect, remove the surface penetrant after cleaning, and absorb the residual penetrant in the defect by using the capillary action of developer to detect the defect.

Penetrant nondestructive testing and dye penetrant testing of weldments belong to one of the methods of nondestructive testing, which is to apply penetrant on the cleaned workpiece surface. If there is a defect, the penetrant will penetrate into the defect. Then wash the excess penetrant on the surface of the workpiece, and then apply the developer. Due to capillarity, the residual penetrant in the defect is sucked out. Although the dye penetrant flaw detection method has low accuracy compared with other detection methods, due to its simple operation and no special device, it can obtain satisfactory flaw detection results only by preparing or purchasing appropriate dye penetrant flaw detection agent and using it in strict accordance with certain methods. Therefore, it is still often used to detect the surface defects of welded parts.

Scope of application:

Penetrant nondestructive testing of weldments, applicable to testing parts of various metallic and non-metallic materials, including parts made of various iron and steel materials, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, FRP, glass, plastic, ceramics, etc;

It is suitable for testing various cold and hot processed parts, including castings, weldments, forgings, extrusions, heat treated parts, surface treated parts, various machined parts, etc;

It is applicable to the inspection of raw material samples, parts in process, finished parts and parts in service.

Penetrant nondestructive testing and penetrant testing of weldments can be used as a supplement to magnetic particle testing. For non-magnetic materials such as aluminum weldments, Pt penetrant testing is better.
