In-situ Metallography

As an NDE technique, In-situ Metallography is ideal for assessing the remaining life of power and petrochemical plants. TCR Engineering Services, India has qualified and experienced field services team that regularly conducts In-situ Metallography on-site at major plants, refineries and process industries. This team from TCR determines in-service degradation of critical components of process plants operating under high temperature/ high pressure/ corrosive atmosphere. The technique enables real-time component condition monitoring and health assessments.
In-situ Metallography and replication is used for microstructural analysis when examining large components that cannot be easily moved or destructive sample preparation is difficult or not permissible. In-situ Metallography allows for quick on-site evaluation of a component’s metallurgical and heat treatment condition and assist investigators when carrying out a remaining life assessment study or a failure analysis project.
