7. Which of the following defect is not detected by dye penetrant test?
a) Non-metallic inclusions
b) Leaks
c) Cracks
d) Forging defects
View Answer
Explanation: Dye penetrant test is one of the methods of non-destructive testing of the components. Leaks, cracks and forging defects are some defects which can be identified by using dye penetrant test. But, for detecting non-metallic inclusions, one will have to do a magnaflux test.
