This paper shows how two different penetrant methods used in conjunction can provide a more complete inspection coverage and minimized risk of failure. A process is described where krypton gas penetrant imaging complements traditional liquid penetrants to achieve higher detection reliability of anomalies in aircraft engine components than either method can obtain independently.
