Penetrant inspection is to be done on non-ferrous alloys (non-magnetic) such as aluminum, 300 series stainless, titanium, inconel and so on. The fluorescent liquid penetrates deep into any defects open to the surface and are highly visible when viewed under a black light. This will occur with discontinuities such as porosity hair-line cracks and similar defects.
