    Alocrom is meant for surface protection against corrosion.However it has huge effects on the surface ispecially if you are going to do dye penetrant which requires the parent material to be completely exposed to the penetrant during inspection.Alocroming would basically mask indications since in this method we are interested in open to surface cracks.
