Replica Metallography

Our valued clients are informed that a team of highly qualified experienced engineers & technologists are rendering their services in a rare but very specialized field of Replica Metallography. This is an NDT technique which is considered to be a very effective tool to help in determining the health and integrity assessment of machinery working in aggressive high temperature environment i.e., Chemical Reactors, Methanators, Reformers Tubes, Headers of Methane Cracking Furnaces, Boiler Tubes handling super heated steam in coal & gas fired Power Stations.

In – Situ Metallography (Replica) Services

Types of damages we identify are as following;

  1. Grain Growth
  2. Hydrogen Attach
  3. Creep Damage
  4. Stress Corrosion
  5. Cracking
  6. Spheroidization of Pearlite
  7. Crack Propagation

Advantages of Replica Metallography

  • The thermal history of the part.
  • Approximate high temperature range and cooling rates.
  • Possible mechanical properties.
  • Crack morphology.
  • Prolonged heat exposure.
  • Material, shape and size of object are not limiting factors for the inspection.
