[Also in Division H1] Aggregates for detecting flaws each comprise a core of adhering magnetic and fluorescent particles encapsulated in a resin. The aggregates are made by mixing magnetic and fluorescent powders to form the cores, dissolving the resin in a water-miscible volatile solvent, adding the cores to form a slurry then adding water to precipitate the resin as a coating, on the cores. Magnetic powders are Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , carbonyl iron and ferrites. Fluorescent powders comprise particles of a melamine- or benzoguanamine - sulphonamide - formaldehyde resin containing a fluorescent dye, e.g. 2,2-dihydroxy 1,1-naphthalolazine together with fluoranthane to increase fluoresence. The coating resin may be a thermoplastic polyamide derived from the reaction of dimerized linoleic acid and a polyamine, e.g. ethylene diamine of molecular weight 6000-9000 and a melting point of 105‹ to 115‹ C. The solvents include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, butanol, methyl ethyl ketones and acetone. The aggregates having a particle size of 3 to 75 microns are used as a suspension in oil or water.
