In-Situ Metallography
In-situ metallography is performed as NDT on actual site with a team comprising of expert metallographers and metallurgists. It is used to find out in-service degradation of critical components of process plants operating under high temperature/ high pressure/ corrosive atmosphere. It provide damage assessments of fire affected equipment of plants. Microstructure survey for critical components viz., Boilers, Pipelines, Reactors and Vessels for condition monitoring and health assessments. TCR can also develop a data bank of critical components of equipment of process plant by periodical monitoring for preventive maintenance and planning for inventory control. TCR can provide suggestions on repair welding of used components of process plants. In-situ metallography checks the microstructure of component for intended service prior to being put in use. In-situ metallography is used for remaining life assessment studies.
