Metallographic Replica is a nondestructive testing method used to examine the microstructure of an intact component. It can provide detailed metallographic information, such as spheroidisation, creep damage, cracking, and grain size. A replica of the component is created at the workplace and then examined by a team of engineers in our laboratory. In-situ metallographic replicas are equivalent in quality to those obtained destructively in laboratories.
It provides information on the component's thermal history.
Estimated range of high temperatures and cooling rates
Attainable mechanical characteristics
Crack morphology
Material, form, and size of the object have no bearing on the inspection.
Prolonged exposure to heat.
