Q) Conventional wisdom dictates that a magnafluxed piece of ferrous metal is OK to use. Suppose that piece of metal has been used for MANY hours...under hard loads. i.e. a buddy of mine has an older

I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that magnafluxing will only detect surface cracks. X-raying will detect internal flaws (if they're big enough and the operator is good enough at the

John Lye replied I won't say that I am an expert but I do make a living as a mechanical engineer analyzing structures (not engine internal components though). In a crank, fatigue cracks would start a

I believe every critical component in an aircraft engine has a rated service life, as required by the FAA. When you reach it, you throw it away. Check the factory manuals or ask a Real aircraft mech

Probably okay. As far as I know you can't tell by looking at it. Eventually the rods, crank, or other components will fail due to fatigue, but it tends to be a rapid process - if you happened to Mag

This thread reminds me of an old movie, No Highway in the Sky, starring James Stewart as a "boffin" who calculates that the tail assembly will fall off a new airplane at x hours. This is just an inte

No, you do him a disservice. He was trying to convince everybody that the "Reindeer" was unsafe and needed a re-design. The tail section he had in his hanger under a stress test had "failed to fail"

Hi Mordy! 1) If an important piece of metal is "cracked-checked" and is found to be "o.k.". What is the certainty that it really is "o.k."? It depends what type of material and how it is checked. Mag

A magnafluxed piece from a company that's FAA approved should come with a certificate. Those that come from Joe magnafluxer probably will not. Die penetrant is also widely used. Bruce McGuire

Correct; this is usually a yellow tag attached to the part, that is then removed when the part is installed and then stapled to the the aircraft's logbook. Parts certified as passing inspection and
