Penetrant inspection/Dye penetrant inspection/Magnetic penetrant inspection/Magnafluxing
Magnaxflux is a company that makes dye penetrant and NDT inspection equipment. One of the main types of NDT inspection is penetrant inspection. This subdivides into dye penetrant inspection for magnetic and non-magnetic parts and magnetic penetrant inspection which is only for magnetic parts.
I worked in NDT for a number of years and never heard the term magnaxfluxing but I daresay it would probably be understood. Much better to use Penetrant inspection/Dye penetrant inspection/Magnetic penetrant inspection dependent on which type of inspection is being used (if you know).

Note from asker:
| Thank you very much Michael. That looks good. Yes I looked at their site and "Magnafluxing" comes from a wiki search (would you believe!) There is very little mention in French. |
