From Rocket Planesto Streamlined Trains .From Sewing Machinesto Mowing MachinesWrorrER you are, whatever you do, wher-ever you live or go, every day of your life, directlyor indirectly, you are served by scores of ma-chines and devices that are better and saferdue to the positive, non-destructive, cost reducingtesting methods pioneered and perfected by Mag-naflux Corporation!It's a fact.The car you ride in, the plane that flies you thou-sands of miles in just a few hours, the barrel of1-our shotgun-yes, even the porcelain enamel on1-our kitchen stove or sink, have most likely, atone stage or another, been subjected to the sci-entific inspection processes created by MagnafluxCorporatioh.Every activity, each research project of Magnafluxis aimed squarely at helping Industry DETECTDEFECTS-Io find the invisible imperfectionsthat might cause needless, costly and even peril-ous failures of equipment and materials.)Iagnaflux Corporation is engaged in the manu-facture and sale of equipment for non-destructivetesting of structural materials for physical de-fects. Without these methods, defective parts maybe built into all kinds of machinery and equip-ment, and those parts may fail, to cause seriousloss of life and property.From its original, yet-to-be-equalled MAGNETICPARTICLE INSPECTION, the scope of the com-pany's research and engineering has steadily ex-panded. Now it is playing a vital part in helpinga wide variety of manufacturers make their prod-ucts less costly to buy and better to own throughadditional methods, such as:

Positive detection of defects in non-magneticmetals and in ceramics.Ultrasonic measurement of dimensions whichcannot be directly measured.Mat'erials and processes for indicating danger-ous stresses and strains, used as a guide fordesigners and manufacturers.

These advances-these strides of Science which

you'll find explained on following pages-haveearned for Magnaflux Corporation a unique stand-ing with Industry by supplying positive ways ofpreventing waste and of improving quality stand-ards ! Yet with all its increased activities andgrowth, the company insists on scientiflc, labora-tory exactness in its approach to each problemand to every operation.The Magnaflux engineer who rolls up his sleevesto pitch in with production or engineering man-agement of a company is a practical specialist withhis feet on the ground, even though he may be"reaching for the stars." His advice and recom-mendations are accepted with confidence becausethey are based solidly on extensive experienceand continuous training-and because he is backedby an expert staff of research and engineering sci-entists in the home office and factory. Here's'aclose-working team that is understanding in itsgrasp of problems - creative in its proved abilityto come up with practical solutions. These mennever-let's say it again, neaer - suggest a Mag-naflux method or unit unless they know of acertainty that it will do the job expected of it I. It's one of the reasons why the companymaintains its position as the undisputed leaderin its field.Users of the various testing methods get the serv-ices of intensively trained Magnaflux engineers.All users are thoroughly trained in the correctprocedures of inspecting and testing and in inter-preting indications of defects. Text books, engi-neering classes in centralized cities and scientificlaboratory services are included in the cooperationwhich is an integral part of the services which thecompany extends. These users include nearly all ofthe large companies in the U.S., and many of thesmallest, several thousand in all.In addition to the manufacture and sale of its test-ing equipment, Magnaflux Corporation maintainscompany-operated Field Inspection and LaboratoryInspection Service in strategically located cities.These services are made available upon a fee basis.The Field Inspection Service is widely used by op-erators of large equipment of many kinds as a partof erection or overhaul inspection. It is availableto users anywhere in the United States.Magnaflux testing means include; MAGNAFLUX,and fluorescent MAGNAGLO for magnetic mate-rials; ZYGLO for non-magnetic metals and solids;STATIFLUX for non-conducting ceramics, suchas porcelain enamel; PARTEK for porous and un-fired ceramics, powdered metals, etc.; SONIZONto measure thickness from one side only, withultrasonics; and STRESSCOAT brittle coatingsfor stress measurement of actual working parts.They are described on the following pages.

Typical are inspec-tion of steel billets-hot-rolled or cold drawn barstock - forgings - castings - plates - pipe -eamless tubing - weldments and any steel partssuch as machine tools - springs - automotiveand aircraft parts. Magnaflux inspection is alsoroutine in most railroad shops and in aircraft,truck and bus overhaul shops . . . and in the ArmedFolces-Army, Air Force, and Navy . . . duringboth manufacture and overhaul of equipment.

How Magnaflux WorksA suitable magnetic field is set up in the properdirection within the part with Magnaflux equip-ment. Sudden interruptions to this magnetic fleldby cracks or discontinuities in the part crowdsome of the magnetic flux (i.e. lines of force) out-side the surface of the part. These "leakage"fields act as local magnets, and attract and holdfinely divided ferro-magnetic particles as they areapplied. This builds up a definite indication at theexact location, showing the extent and shape ofthe crack or flaw. The magnetic particles are ap-plied by hand or automatically, either as drypowder or by the "wet" method in suspension ina thin oil carrier. Various colors are provided tomake the crack indications stand out most clearlyon any color of surface.

MAGNAGLO'...for inspection ofmagnetic materials(Jnder Black LightInuisible Cracks BecorneGlowing Danger Sigrwls

BEFORE AFIERThis is the same truck king pin shown on page2. Here you see hou inspection u:ith fluorescentMagnaglo under black light reaeals cracks asglowing danger signals impossible to oaerlook.Magnaglo increases the speeil of inspection. ltalso makes it easier to spot delects in keyways,bolt threads, interiors of parts and other hard,-to-see places.

An accident uas breuing here! See hou inspection uith Mag.naglo shows u1t otheruise intisible latigue cracks in this tuckwheel spindle. Magnaglo is regulark used by motor bus lines,fleet operators and in licensed illagnaflux Automotiae Oaer-haul shops.Magnaglo, developed to meet industry's need forspeedier inspection, is so fast that it keeps pacewith the highest production line volume and speed.Essentially an extension of Magnaflux MagneticParticle Inspection, it is the fastest means knownfor continuous inspection. It is faster even thanvisual inspection. Magnaglo makes it possible tofind defects in small parts at rates up to thousandsof pieces per hour. Even large parts, such as rail-road axles, are being inspected - and euery d,efeetfound-with Magnaglo and a single operator, atrates up to and exceeding 150 axles per 8-hourshift.Magnaglo reveals even the smallest crack with aglowing indication so clearly defined that it can-not escape being seen. Defects are instantly ob-served in normally hard-to-see places, such as inthe threads of bolts or in the interiors of holes.For maximum sensitivity plus high-speed inspec-tion Magnaglo offers four pronounced and out-standing advantages:1. The indications glorv in the darkness toatftact the inspector's eyes. He does nothave to search the surface for them.

2. The speed with which the eyes are at-tracted to the indications greatly steps upinspection rates and reduces inspectioncost per piece.3. More positive detection is possible in thelocating of very small defects or defectsin parts with dark surfaces such as roughforgings.4. The glowing indications are largely inde-pendent of surface color or shape.

STRESSCOATU...the sprayed-on brittlecoating that simplifi,esstress analysisReduces Time and Costof Ouerall Stress Measurement

DynamicStaticIn Seruice TestIn Laboratory TestOn Production UnitsOn Pilot ModelsThis testing has been called "stress inspection",since stresses in a working part are tested andmeasured, to flnd weak design spots - or over-weight designs that waste material.Experimental stress analysis is a recently de-veloped and widely used field of engineering rvhichis providing new ways to reduce the cost of makingbetter products-and making products iighter andstronger for better service.Stresscoat is a brittle coating, perfected by Mag-naflux, which spotlights over-stressed parts, oneof the common causes of fatigue failures, andshortens design and testing time. Locating highlystressed areas, makes possible the most economi-cal use of metals rvith no sacrifice of safetyfactors. It predicts where parts would fail, sothey can be correctly designed not to fail in ser-r-ice. In addition, Sti'esscoat often enables salvageof defective designs of finished parts on handthlough simple machining. Direct savings of thiskind, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dol-lars, are being reported.Application is SimpleStresscoat brittle coating is sprayed Iike a painton the part to be tested. At the same time a simplemetal bar is sprayed. Both are allowed to dry.The bar is used to evaluate and measure theclacking of Stresscoat so that strain levels areactually measured.The part under test is loaded by actual operation,or by simulated loading in the laboratory. Thecrack patterns in the Stresscoat show areas ofhighest stress, direction of stress and forecastlocation and direction of possible failure.

MAGNAGLO and MAGNAFLUX

Long before you even heard rumors of these nerv N{agna-glo and Magnaflux Dry Concentrates, each had behind itthousands of man-hours of scientific development, re-search and field testing. Instruments and testing devices,too, r{ere used.as accurate as you are likely to see in themost adr.anced research laboratory.For instance, did you know that at Magnaflux, formula-tion, improvement, and control of testing materials in-volves the use of such equipment as electronic counters,digital computers, photometric and fluorometric instru-ments? That it is a full-time job for 16 specialists andtheir a-.si-ctants? That, depending upon the material andits use" rte measure and test for such specifics as:

We test our own test materials on actual defects-during manufacture. We test them in the freld, over andover again, and evaluate them in our N{aterial TestingLaboratories. Onlv after proven success are they releasedto vou IOut of just such meticulous, scienti6c programrring carrrethe nerr N{agnaglo and l\{agnaflux Dry Concentrales.
