What is dye penetrant?
Dye penetrant inspection (DPI), also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). DPI is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components.

Magnetic Particle
Magnetic particle testing is another surface inspection method, and an alternative for detecting surface cracks and discontinuities, especially on ferromagnetic materials.
Eddy Current
Eddy current testing is another surface inspection method to find surface and near-surface flaws. It can be used as an alternative to dye penetrant.
Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic testing is a volumetric inspection method that can detect internal flaws, which dye penetrant cannot. Thus, it's an alternative when internal flaw detection is necessary.
Radiography
Radiography is a volumetric inspection method and alternative when internal flaw detection is necessary. It is an alternative method to dye penetrant.
X-Ray
X-ray is a form of radiography, a volumetric inspection method and alternative when internal flaw detection is necessary.
