There are two basic types of crack testing that I am familiar with, dye
penetrant and magnetic particle usually called "Magnafluxing" (I believe
"Magnaflux" is a trade name).
Both type can be done in the home shop. I attended a lecture at the Petersen
Auto Museum where this was demonstarted.
Copies of an article written by the lecturer were provided and I should have a
copy somewhere. If you send me your postal address I'll sen you a copy, when I
find it.
