Fluorescent
Shot Peen Tracer
|
|
Shot Peening improves metal and weldment
resistance to fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and galling. To provide
this benefit, it is important that shot peen coverage is uniform and complete.
A liquid tracer provides a coating that is removed at a rate proportional
to peening coverage thus providing visual feedback on the uniformity and
completeness of peening coverage. A fluorescent tracer has a pigment that
fluoresces under ultraviolet light making the determination of the degree
or percentage of coverage quick, easy and foolproof. Use of this tracer
eliminates the need for 200-percent coverage in order to be assured of
complete peening.

- Clean the parts to be peened. Remove all dirt, oil or residue.
- Prepare a control specimen of the actual work piece material.
- Cover parts with Fluoro-Finder by brushing, dipping, or spraying
(do not dilute). Allow a few moments for the coating to dry.
- Confirm full coating with black light.
- Shot peen control specimen using the correct intensity and parameters
specified for complete coverage.
- Inspect with 10x magnifier to confirm proper coverage.
- Re-examine under black light. Full coverage is indicated by
the degree of tracer removal at the point of full coverage shown
under 10-30X visual examination.
- Establish coverage of actual production pieces using the same
procedure for each part or on a statistical sampling basis. As
the peening progresses, it removes the Fluoro-Finder film, causing
the glow to fade.
- Compare the production tracer removal to the control specimen
to assure proper peening coverage.
- Coverage: 1 pint will cover approximately 32 square feet or 3 square meters.
- Notice: If the part is not properly pre-cleaned, tracer removal
may be erratic.
