NDT Inspection Services
At ElyoniX we can provide an array of inspections utilizing various inspection methods to include but not limited to Ultrasonic, Penetrant, Eddy Current, Magnetic, Radiography, and Visual Inspections.
Ultrasonic Testing
In ultrasonic testing (UT), very short ultrasonic pulse-waves with center frequencies ranging from 0.1-15 MHz and occasionally up to 50 MHz are transmitted into materials to detect internal flaws or to characterize materials.
Ultrasonic testing is often performed on steel and other metals and alloys, though it can also be used on concrete, wood and composites. It is a form of non-destructive testing used in many industries including aerospace, automotive and other transportation sectors.

Penetrant Testing
Dye penetrant inspection (DPI), also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, ceramics, etc). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials. LPI is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components.
Visual Testing
Visual inspection (VT) is the original method of nondestructive testing (NDT) and is considered the most effective NDT testing technique for detecting surface defects. Visual Inspection requires no equipment except a trained inspector with a keen eye.
Phase Array Ultrasonics
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PA UT) is an advanced science, using high speed electronics and composite multi-element array probes to produce ultrasonic waves. The UT waves are combined, producing highly accurate images that identify geometry, anomalies, and flaws.
This advanced method is one of the most capable methods on the market.
Ultrasonic Thickness
Finding remaining material thickness is a great way to detect for internal metal loss when only one side of a component is accessible. This method is also required for measuring aircraft skin to determine blend out limits.
