In this article, you will discover how TFMi works, how it differs from traditional ultrasound, and why it is considered the next generation in the evaluation of industrial materials, establishing new standards in advanced inspection.

What is TFMi in ultrasonic inspection?

The term TFMi (Total Focusing Method – Intelligent) describes an evolution within TFM, where the technique processes the complete matrix of signals acquired through Full Matrix Capture. Each point in the inspection area is computationally focused, generating a millimetric acoustic map that enables the creation of ultrasonic images with higher precision, resolution, and sensitivity. It is based on the principle of the Total Focusing Method but incorporates algorithmic improvements and additional propagation modes to deliver a more realistic acoustic map with reduced noise.
