Non-Destructive Examination
Non-Destructive Examination
TIC specializes in non-destructive testing of materials and metal structures. Customers trust us for. Characterize the state of integrity of their equipment, without damaging it, either during production, use or maintenance.
NDT is a major component of product quality control. It differs from laboratory and industrial instrumentation in that its purpose is to detect heterogeneities and anomalies without altering the basic structure.

TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction)
The TOFD method is used for a wide range of applications, with its primary purpose being the rapid inspection of axial and circumferential weld seams. Since its inception, the use of this reliable and renowned non-destructive testing technique has grown steadily. To ensure compliance with North American standards, TOFD is often combined with reflection or multi-element ultrasonic techniques to cover the root and bead areas of the weld.
Multi-element ultrasound (Phased Array)
Ultrasonic testing has broadened the scope of component inspection in non-destructive testing (NDT), and is now widely accepted and standardized for a range of applications. This technology offers the advantage of being able to adapt and control the ultrasonic beam to enable deflections, such as sector scanning, and focusing in a part, by electronically controlling the emission/reception delays at the various transducer elements. Phased Array” control has the advantage of eliminating the traditional back-and-forth movement of the translator.
Automated Ultrasound (AUT)
Automated ultrasonic inspection enables rapid weld inspection with highly accurate results and positioning data, as well as simultaneous use of multiple probes for highly precise evaluation of the indication dimensions measured. Constant coupling pressure and constant probe alignment reduce potential errors during critical evaluation of indications. It also offers the possibility of mapping large corroded areas with great precision.
ACFM
The A.C.F.M. technique enables detection of through-hole defects without stripping, reduced cleaning (traces of grease), ease of calibration, and high inspection speed. It also offers the advantage of testing over a temperature range from -20°C to 50°C, processing through paint and non-conductive coatings up to 5 mm thick, with no special surface preparation, and digital recording of results.
Control Par Courant De FOUCAULT
Eddy current testing enables easy calibration, high testing speed and part quantity, and detection of open defects without stripping. This technique also has the advantage of requiring minimal cleaning, and can be applied through paint and non-conductive coatings up to 3 mm thick, without any specific surface preparation.

RADIOGRAPHY
Radiography is a non-destructive testing method that involves obtaining an image of the material density of an object that has been penetrated by X-ray or gamma-ray electromagnetic radiation. Radiography is a technique that enables us to visualize the lack of material in the volume of the object under inspection, on a two-dimensional image. Tomography is an examination technique also based on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, which can be used to obtain material densities by volume elements.
ULTRASON
This technique offers several advantages, such as the need to access only one side of the part, the sensitivity of defect detection, the possibility of checking the compactness of a given volume and the positioning of detected indications in the thickness. Ultrasonic testing can also be used to estimate the importance of an indication by means of its reflectivity (reflection testing) or the attenuation produced (transmission testing).
MAGNETOSCOPY
Magnetic particle inspection is widely used in sectors such as metal construction, forging, boiler making, etc. It can be used to inspect parts with simple or complex geometries. The operation, which is relatively quick, can be carried out on both small parts (10 mm screws) and large parts (ship crankshafts, aircraft landing gear).
RESSUAGE
Penetrant testing is an NDT method that can be easily integrated into production or maintenance lines. Apart from the low cost of implementation, one of the main advantages lies in the ability to detect defects such as cracks, corrosion fissure, porosity, pitting, etc. with great reliability, whatever their orientation and location on the part to be inspected, but also whatever its size and complexity of geometry.
