MonkeyJim Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 You don't X-ray wheels to look for cracks. Dymag do dye penetrant testing where you paint on a UV sensitive paint, wash the wheel and then veiw it under UV light and any cracks that have reatined the UV dye will show up. Personally I prefered my magnesium wheels to be ultrasonically or magentic particle imaging tested - far more accurate and reliable. All of the paint and chromate needs to be removed first. Try in your local yellow pages under 'Non Destructive Testing' Ross you could try a company called Quest Tru-test aka Material Meaurements - I think they can supply all your non-destructive testing needs, especially as Dymag have apparently gone into administration earlier this week? http://www.aviation-database.com/Aeropsace...ive_Testing.htm I know this company from my time at Luton Airport but I think they have other outlets around the south east. They do x-rays & dye penetrant testing, amongst other methods the parent company is Caparo Testing http://www.caparotesting.com/ Hope that helps... .... if it doesn't, then maybe Monkey Destructive Testing can help. They're a new company based in St Albans, Hertfordshire. They offer a complete destructive testing service. Through a combination of cack-handed wheelies, personal crash testing, a microwave oven [800W no less!] and a jug of Bisto gravy they can quickly establish if your wheels are cracked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapido Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Sent a wheel to Dymag to be refurbished roughly three weeks ago and they confirmed they would be ceasing trading as of Friday just gone. Shame, another reputable company gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well next time just drop me a line and I will sort them for you( well the NDT bit anyways) as for what inspection they require I would recomend eddy current or penetrant inspection, depending on what they are made of.
