How do we do it?
Field metallurgy (replica inspection) is a non-destructive examination conducted at the customer’s premises, focusing on the microstructure of metal and metallurgical changes in components operating at high temperatures. By analysing the results, Replico experts deduce potential repair needs and determine new inspection times to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of components.
This method is also well-suited for analysing cracks, for example, in field conditions.
In replication inspections, it is essential to consider sample preparation methods suitable for different materials. Field metallurgy has been our specialised expertise since the early days of Replico. Our customers receive results promptly to minimise the duration of the revision.
