I-PHI4 a technical platform in NDT (Non Destructive Testing)


An agreement GIS (Scientific Interest Group) which marks the start of the platform I-PHI4 (4 physical innovation), was signed between the following partners:
  • FANO (Acoustic Federation Northwest-Le Havre): group of specialized laboratory in acoustics
  • IXTREM (Chalon sur Saône): Company specializing in NDT techniques (ultrasonic, magnetic particle, eddy current)
  • Convergences Innovations: Company specializing in set-up and management of innovative projects
  • HOLO3 brings its expertise in optics

Other partners have expressed interest or to participate in research projects (CETIM Senlis), or as a user and distributor of technologies to be developed (CETIM CERMAT, CETE - Technical Centre for the equipment of the East).
The objective of this platform is to develop and promote non-contact NDT techniques that combine additional physical phenomena (eg, ultrasound and thermography). Four technical expertise are in the consertium : ultrasound, magnetic particle, eddy current and optics. The combination of the four partners can share a pool of resources, the other to combine complementary expertise, and finally to offer companies a full range of benefits of innovation: R & D study,  technical feasibility study, industrialization and education.

The partners are already involved in two joint research projects:
  • ECO-CND (2010-2012): Process Development US Guided Wave contactless
  • GREEN-TESTING (2011-2013): Reducing the environmental footprint of penetrant and magnetic particle techniques and development of alternative technologies
In addition to the specific equipment of each partner, the platform has to be equipped with a laser ultrasonic excitation system and a thermographic camera.
