I worked for a company in the '60's that machined aircraft engine components. Fan blade parts mostly. We EDM and ECM'ed holes in the parts. They were made of "aerospace" materials.....Every part was sent off to a company that was less than a mile from where I am right now.....Parker X-Ray......I looked at many of those x-rays as the parts all came back to our Q.C. dept. with the x-rays included. Other than an outright flaw or void in the metal.....I don't see the advantge over a wet mag test. A person with a lot of experience can find almost any flaw in a crank with a wet mag machine....


I don't know of any std. automotive crank shop that did anything beyond wet mag inspection. I'm sure there are facilites that can do it......but finding one/shipping the crank and paying for the service sounds like it would be fairly expensive.....
