Magnafluxing is magnetic particle inspection done by running a liquid (with metal particles) over the ferrous object. While the liquid is running over the object, it is viewed under a fluorescent UV light. The metal particles will fall into any cracks which are then detected as a line under the UV light. This tells you that you've got a crack or flaw in the piece that may render it unsafe.
