Surface inspection enables the rapid detection of visible defects such as cracks, corrosion or irregularities, thus guaranteeing the quality of materials and structures.
Surface inspection, or surface testing, is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique dedicated to detecting visible defects on the surface of materials. Essential for many industries, this method identifies irregularities such as cracks, scratches, corrosion or other types of surface damage that can compromise the reliability and safety of critical components.
Among the most common methods used for surface inspection are magnetic particle inspection (MPI) and liquid penetrant inspection (DPI). These techniques enable meticulous inspection of ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic materials, without damaging the inspected parts. Surface inspection is particularly relevant in industries such as aerospace, automotive and manufacturing, where apparent defects can be early warning signs of more serious problems.
Surface inspection also plays a key role in production quality control, ensuring that every component meets strict safety and performance standards before being put into service. At Sofranel, we offer a comprehensive range of surface inspection solutions, using advanced technologies to detect visible defects quickly and accurately. Our solutions are optimized to maximize equipment life and minimize the risk of failure.
