I dropped 2 cams (they shared a biner) from nearly the top of Whiteout (where you leave the crack). Bounced a few times on the way down, then landed in the dirt.
Magnaflux says:
no cracks. The glowey parts are where I didn't wash the dye off really well (it collects on the cables, and underneath tiny areas really easily). I also fluxed a few biners for a friend that dropped a draw the next day from ~60 ft.[/img]

No,.. I'm just jealous. I wish i could do metallurgical analysis in my lab.

Does magnaflux work on aluminum? I thought it only worked on ferrous metals. Or am I just confused? (Years ago I thought I wanted to be an engineer, but that was a long time ago, so I really don't know what I'm talking about.)

The technique I used is liquid dye penetration. The parts are soaked in a special dye that glows under a black light. I've personally seen the dye penetrate into cracks as small as 10 microns. You then wash the dye off of the surface of the part, apply a developer (which wicks the dye which was in any cracks back to the surface), and look under a light. This will work with pretty much any material.
I think you may have been thinking of magnetic particle inspection, similar technique, and yes, it only works with ferrous materials.

Do you still have the xray?
