Description
METAL FLAW DETECTION LIQUID Loy W. Sockman, Los Angeles, Calif.
No Drawing. Application November 8, 1954 Serial No. 467,643
13 Claims. (Cl. 73-104) This invention relates to an improved composition for visually detecting sub-surface surface-connected defects and flaws in metals.
One object of the invention is to provide a new penetrant composition for use in visually detecting flaws adjacent metal surfaces. Another object is to provide a penetrant composiiton which permits visual detection of the most minute sub-surface cracks and defects in metals. A further object is to provide a new penetrant flaw detection composition of which the excess is easily flushed off the metal surfaces by means of water. A still further object is to provide an improved penetrant liquid for detecting sub-surface flaws in metals which discloses defects without the use of developers or mechanical processing other than washing off the surplus liquid. Another object is to provide a non-toxic penetrant testing liquid.
These and other objects are attained by my invention, which will be understood from the following description.
I have discoveredthat the use of a saturated monohydric alcohol ester, particularly propyl, butyl, and amyl, of the higher fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, ina penetrant solution for testing for sub-surface, surface-connected defects in metals, gives greatly. improved sensitivity and ease of detection over the penetrant compositions which have heretofore been used and are known in the art. By the term higher fatty acids is meant saturated and unsaturated fatty acids having from 8 to 20 like, including specifically palmitates, myristates, laurates,
oleates, caprates and caprylates, either as individual esters, or as mixtures of esters, derived from the commercial sources, give superior penetrant flaw detecting liquids. The alcohol or base constituent of any of these esters may be any of the propyl, butyl, or amyl radicals, either separately or in mixtures. In some testing procedures the single or mixed esters alone may be used but I have found that the testing for sub-surface flaws is greatly facilitated by dissolving in the ester or mixed esters a visible or a fluorescent dye which, of course, makes the defects visually more apparent. I have also found that because of the high viscosity at testing temperatures of some of these dyed esters and ester mixtures, which prevents quick spreading action over the surface of the metal, an inert diluent liquid may be used to advantage, the diluent having substantially no other effect than to lower the viscosity and permit spreading of the penetrant material in a non-viscous thinner layer on States Patent ice 2 V the metal surface to be tested. The diluents which I find most satisfactory either separately or in mixtures are Stoddards solvent; chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents such as carbon tetrachloride or trichlorethylene; and one or more of the butyl alcohols.
I have found that the penetrant solutions above described are readily removed by flushing with water, both during the processes of the testing procedure to remove the excess from the surface, as well as at the end of the test for removing any residual testing re-agents.
Illustrative of my invention are the following compositions: p
I. Normal butyl fatty acid esters (mixed), as derived from commercial cocoanut oil fatty acids, 98 parts by weight; and 2 parts by weight of Meiford Red, a red dye, soluble in said mixed esters.
11. Normal butyl fatty acid esters (mixed), derived from cocoanut oil fatty acids, 99/: parts by weight; and, /2 part by weight of Fluorol 7GA, a fluorescent dye soluble in said mixed esters.
III. Amyl oleate, 20 parts by weight; Stoddards solvent, 78 parts by weight; and Mefford Red, ester-soluble red dye, 2 parts by weight.
' I V. Isopropyl fatty acid esters (mixed), derived from commercial cocoanut oil fatty acid, 25 parts by weight; Stoddards solvent, 61 parts by weight; N-Butyl alcohol, 10 parts by weight; Petronate L, a sodium petroleum sulfonate, 2 parts by weight; and Mefiord Red, estersoluble dye, 2 parts by weight Any dyestufi which is soluble or emulsifiable in oil, preferably red, or any oil soluble or emulsifiable fluorescent dye, may be used in my compositions. I have used Meffords Red, an oil soluble dyestulf whose formula is said to be O-toluene-azo-xylene-azo-b-napthol. I have also used General Dyestuif Corporations Fluorol 76A for producing a fluorescent pentrant composition. Obviously, other dyes and fluorescent materials which are soluble or thoroughly dispersed or emulsifiable'in the penetrant esters may. be used. I
As a fatty acid ester emulsifier to facilitate'the re moval of the penetrant liquid, I have used, for example,
Atlas G-1256, manufactured by the Atlas Powder Company, which is a polyoxethylene sorbitol ester of mixed fatty and resin acids; and Petronate L, manufactured by L. Sonneborn Sons, a sodium petroleum sulfonate having an empirical formula, C H SO Na.
In general, any of the emulsifiers known to be'suitable .for emulsifying oil and water may be used, although I prefer to use one or the other of those mentioned. While in some of my compositions a small amount, not more than about two parts per parts of solution, by weight, of a suitable emulsifier facilitates the removal of the excess penetrant liquid by flushing with water, or the cleanup of the tested pieces, it is pointed out that an emulsifier is not necessary, and water alone will satisfactorily remove the excess penetrant liquid, including the specified diluents of the fatty acid ester or esters, so that the penetrant in the cracks and defects which are sub-surface but connected with the surface, will become visible by seeping or creeping out upon, the cleaned surface.
The ester materials used in my penetrant liquids may be made by well known esterification processes. Mixed esters of the higher fatty acids which are present in cocoanut oil may be prepared by cross esterification with an alkaline catalyst, whereby the glycerine is displaced by the lower molecular weight propyl, butyl or amyl alcohols, and the esters then separated from the glycerine 3 After standing for a sufficient time to allow the penetrant liquid to spread into the surface connected flaws, cracks and defects, the excess penetrant liquid i flushed off the surface by means of water, following which the colored or fluorescent penetrant liquid, in the flaws, cracks, and defects creeps out of the cracks and spreads to show up the defect.
The application is a continuation in part of my copending application, Ser. No. 229,517, filed June 1, 1951, now abandoned.
