What is Metallurgical Inspection?
A detailed analysis of material composition, structure, and failure mechanisms.
Method of Inspection | Applications
- Metallurgical Replication have the advantage of being suitable for locations where access is restricted or where the removal of the component is difficult or impossible
- The main use within the industry is the situ inspection of highly stressed components .Including high pressure turbine and associated equipment and critical components with long replacement lead time
- This technique can also be carried out on the inside of components especially where thermal fatigue is suspected
Advantages:
- Can be examined Microscopically
- No need to take samples out of service for Inspection
- Can be archived for future comparisons providing long term records
- Can be applied to various materials and surfaces
- Cost effective
- Real time analysis
- Verification of Heat Treatment conditions
- Can be used to access creep damage in high temperature components helping to estimate remaining service life
