Answer One description: A process used to determine if a head is cracked. The head is magnatized using a powerful electromagnet, then iron filings are sprayed on the head to check for cracks. Patterns in the filings indicate either a cracked or normal head. This process works on cast iron heads but not on aluminum heads. The answer given above is incorrect. Magnaflux is a product use to check for cracks and other discontinuities, but it has nothing to do with Magnetization. Magnaflux is a (3) part process using (a) Cleaner (b) Penetrant (c) Developer. The answer given above would be for the question, "What is Mag-particle Testing"?
Cast iron heads.
What adhesives work with aluminum
Yes, aluminum cookware does not work on induction cooktops because aluminum is not magnetic and induction cooktops require magnetic materials to generate heat.
yes its not all made of aluminum
Check out Custom Aluminum Works. They specialize in Aluminum Fabrication for fire and rescue vehicles, but they do good work. Aluminum Marine handles aluminum fabrication for boats, but I'm sure they could do some specialized work for you also.
Yes, aluminum does not work with induction cooking because it is not magnetic and does not generate heat when placed on an induction cooktop.
Yes, a compass will work on an aluminum boat as long as there are no strong magnetic interferences nearby that could affect its accuracy. Aluminum itself does not interfere with the function of a compass.
Yes, aluminum will not work on an induction cooktop because it is not magnetic and therefore cannot generate heat through induction.
You can "Magnaflux" the block assuming the block is cast iron or steel and the block is stripped down and cleaned for rebuilding.
Aluminium is a good conductor of electricity.
The thermal conductivity of copper is higher than that of aluminum, and silver is better than either copper or aluminum.
