Project Title : Dye penetration efficiency against viscosity evaluation
Description:
Varying viscosity of Dykem Red Ink at different counts of use (re-use cycles) can increase viscosity over time, which may limit dye penetration and lead to no/poor penetration outcomes in the Dye & Pry process. Today, there is no quantitative control of dye viscosity (and/or temperature), so “low viscosity” is assumed but not verified. This internship project will establish a practical viscosity measurement and control approach to improve confidence and repeatability of Dye & Pry results.
Scope:
1. Develop a test plan to measure Dykem red dye viscosity across defined reuse counts
2. Identify and evaluate viscometer options suitable for low-viscosity Newtonian fluids with high sensitivity and minimal mechanical disturbance
3. Define a controlled measurement method (including temperature control/standardization, e.g., 25°C reference) and measurement repeatability checks
4. Correlate viscosity trends to Dye & Pry penetration quality indicators (e.g., penetration success rate / defect reveal quality using existing lab evaluation approach
5. Propose an operational control plan: viscosity acceptance window, reuse limit guidance, storage/handling recommendations, and a simple decision rule for “use vs discard.
Supporting Team:
Failure Analysis (Dye & Pry process owners / lab operations)
Deliverables:
1. A viscosity vs. reuse-count dataset and trend summary (baseline + defined reuse points)
2. Recommendation of the best-fit viscometer type for this application (with rationale tied to low-viscosity needs)
3. A documented viscosity measurement procedure (incl. temperature reference and repeatability approach)
4. A proposed viscosity acceptance window (e.g., at 25°C) and a simple operational control rule for reuse/discard.
5. Final readout package (1-slide executive summary + supporting detail appendix) for lab leadership.
Stretch Goal:
1. Implement an easy-to-maintain tracking method (labeling/log sheet) to record reuse count + viscosity checks and enable quick audits.
2. Evaluate whether temperature variation (ambient vs controlled) materially shifts viscosity enough to require tighter storage/usage controls.
3. Provide a recommendation for standard work updates (work instruction/SOP addendum) to embed viscosity control into Dye & Pry routine
Requirement:
Degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
