Abstract
A method of inspecting a component includes the steps of identifying a component having an outer surface of a first hardness, and mounted with a holding member of a second hardness which is greater than the first hardness. A protective coating is provided about the first component, and the protective coating having a dye which absorbs a particular range of electromagnetic wavelengths. The amount of the dye remaining in the coating is inspected to identify an amount of wear of the coating.
