Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the detection a minute defect which is visually unable to detect by applying a coating agent containing a specified material on the surface of an object to be inspected to inspect the surface of the object with an X ray detector after the removal of the coating agent attached to the smoothed surface of the object being inspected. CONSTITUTION:A coating agent containing Sn, Si, Cl and Pb or the like is applied on the surface of an object to be inspected especially on the surface of metal or non-metal material, particulary the surface of a steel pipe used in a boiler, a turbine or the like and the surface thereof is ground lightly to leave the coating agent infiltrated into a fine defect which is visually unable to detect. The surface is analyzed with an X ray microanalyzer to obtain a spectrum chart of Sn, Si and the like. Thus, it is possible to accurately detect the presence and position of the coating agent 3 left in the fine defect 2 generated in the crystal grain boundary 1 of the object being inspected.
