This product description presents the Ardrox 9VF2 type, diffusing red penetrant material, specifically developed for detecting structural damage in the internal microstructure of aluminum components, especially hairline cracks. This material is a crucial tool for assessing damage to body parts, such as those resulting from an accident, where checking structural integrity is essential.
Aluminum crack testing is fundamentally important for identifying damage within the internal structure of the metal. It is a particularly common requirement to inspect large surfaces for cracks to determine if other body components have also been affected by an impact. A typical application area, for example, is the inspection of the area around the MacPherson strut.
The Ardrox 9VF2 diffusing red penetrant the liquid must be applied directly to the surface to be tested. Thanks to its excellent properties and capillary action, the liquid penetrates the finest cracks and pores. After thoroughly cleaning the surface (before applying the developer), the penetrant wicks back to the surface.
After applying the white developer, the contrast between the red penetrant and the white carrier material high contrast ensures that even the smallest cracks and defects are easily visible. This method is extremely sensitive to surface and subsurface defects.
Important note: The testing liquids and agents do not exert a negative effect on the welds or the surfaces on which they are applied. After the testing process is complete, the agents can be completely removed from the surfaces using the appropriate test material cleaner.
High Sensitivity: Capable of detecting even the smallest, invisible hairline cracks in the metal structure.
High Contrast: The combination of red penetrant and white developer ensures optimal visual contrast for defect detection.
Area of Application: Ideal for inspecting aluminum parts, especially large surfaces and critical structural elements (e.g., suspension mounting points).
Safe Material Usage: The agents do not damage welds or tested surfaces.
Easy Removal: The test materials can be removed from the surface without residue using the appropriate cleaning agent.
The product belongs to the category of welding technology accessories from Wieländer+Schill, and is specifically classified among accessories related to gas shielded arc welding.

To achieve reliable and accurate results, the following steps, which utilize the complete Ardrox testing system (cleaner, penetrant, developer), must be strictly followed:
Cleaning (Preparation): The surface to be inspected must be thoroughly cleaned with Ardrox 9PR5 cleaner. This step is critical for removing contaminants, oils, and greases that could prevent penetrant penetration.
Penetration: Apply the Ardrox 9VF2 diffusing red penetrant onto the surface.
Dwell Time: Allow the penetrant to dwell for approximately 10-20 minutes. This time is necessary for the liquid to penetrate even the smallest cracks with the help of capillary forces.
Cleaning (Excess Removal): After the dwell time, the surface must again be thoroughly cleaned with Ardrox 9PR5 cleaner. This removes excess penetrant from the surface while leaving the material inside the cracks.
Development: Apply the Ardrox 9D1B developer spray (developer) onto the surface until a uniform reaction is observed. The developer wicks the penetrant returning from the cracks and displays the defect.
Inspection: Examine the surface for the presence of cracks. The red indications clearly show structural flaws.
For maximum efficiency, the Ardrox 9VF2 penetrant is recommended for use with the following system accessories:
Ardrox 9PR5 Cleaner (Part No: 311051): Used for preparing surfaces and removing excess penetrant.
Ardrox 9D1B Developer Spray (Part No: 311052): White carrier material responsible for the visual indication of cracks.
Crack Detection Spray – 3 Piece Kit (Part No: 311053): A complete solution incorporating system elements for fast and efficient field application.
This diffusing red penetrant is an essential tool in quality assurance and in preparing damaged vehicles for proper repair, ensuring the safety of structural components.
