On-Site Metallographic Testing and Analysis

We deliver comprehensive metallurgical evaluations including microstructure analysis, chemical composition testing, hardness measurements, and coating inspections. Our in-situ replication techniques provide detailed insights into material condition and remaining lifetime assessment. We offer specialized testing for mechanical properties, chemical composition, and microstructural evaluation. This includes:  

• Production and preparation of test samples 

• Chemical analysis and material identification 

• Coatings inspection and evaluation 

• Hardness testing and measurements 

• Ferrite content measurement 

• Mechanical and chemical microstructure evaluation 

• Damage and degradation analysis 

Our field metallography services accommodate metallic components that cannot be transported to traditional labs. We specialize in testing operational equipment and critical infrastructure components across the aerospace, transportation, industrial, petrochemical, and oil & gas sectors. Our capabilities extend to components that are too large, too heavy, or too fragile for conventional laboratory testing. 

• Industrial equipment and installations 

• Critical infrastructure components 

• Duplex steel and austenitic weld metal 

• Medium and high-alloyed metals 

• Large-scale metallic structures 

We combine non-destructive testing with advanced replication techniques for mechanical and chemical microstructure evaluation. We utilize PMI and OES methods for chemical analysis, along with advanced microscopy and metallographic replication to provide a complete picture of material condition. 

Our approach enables real-time monitoring of component conditions while maintaining structural integrity. We achieve this with:  

• In-situ replication metallography 

• Chemical analysis using PMI and OES 

• EPR measurements for sensitization testing 

• Microscopic examinations 

• Support with photomicrograph interpretation

We deploy state-of-the-art portable testing equipment including XRF analyzers, hardness testing devices, and advanced microscopy tools for on-site analysis. Our mobile laboratory capabilities deliver the same precision and reliability as our fixed facilities, using the most up-to-date equipment available in the industry.

Our expert metallurgists bring over two decades of field testing experience directly to your site, offering real-time analysis and immediate results. We combine local service delivery with global expertise, providing you with comprehensive testing solutions that match laboratory quality standards while maximizing convenience and efficiency.
