Eddyfi Technologies reaffirmed its position as a leader in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) at AMPP 2024, where Frederic Reverdy, Senior Application and Products Engineer, presented the company’s inspection technologies, such as array ultrasound, MFL technology and eddy currents, designed to detect and mitigate corrosion in critical industries, including phased. With a strong presence at the event, Eddyfi demonstrated its commitment to advancing inspection solutions for aerospace, energy, mining, power generation, and transportation sectors.
MFL technology: A standout corrosion inspection solution
Among the cutting-edge technologies showcased, Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) technology emerged as a key highlight. MFL is a powerful screening method used for corrosion detection that offers significant advantages over traditional techniques. Unlike ultrasonic phased array, MFL does not require couplant, making it an efficient and versatile solution for rapid surface scanning.
The MFL system works by applying a strong magnetic field to a metal component. Sensors detect variations in the magnetic field caused by corrosion or material loss, allowing for fast and accurate defect identification. One of the primary benefits of this technology is its ability to scan through coatings up to a quarter-inch thick, eliminating the need for direct contact with the surface. Additionally, this technique can detect corrosion down to 1 mm in depth, providing a reliable and high-speed solution for asset integrity assessments.
It’s a screening tool that doesn’t need any coupling like phase array. You can go through about a quarter inch of coating, and you’re going to scan really fast like this, and you’re going to be able to detect any corrosion down to one millimeter.

Looking ahead: Eddyfi Technologies at ASNT Las Vegas
In addition to its AMPP 2024 showcase, Eddyfi Technologies has confirmed its participation in ASNT Las Vegas, one of the leading conferences for Non-Destructive Testing professionals. This highlights the company’s continuous efforts to engage with industry leaders and contribute to the advancement of NDT methodologies.
Future innovations in development
As Eddyfi Technologies continues to push the boundaries of inspection technology, Reverdy said the company is actively developing new solutions, but they are not yet ready for deployment. This indicates that innovation within the company continues, further strengthening its role as a pioneer in the NDT sector.
With its presence at AMPP 2024 and its ongoing commitment to technological advancements, Eddyfi Technologies remains at the forefront of high-performance NDT solutions that enhance asset reliability and safety worldwide.
