Investigation of process and products are carried out to the client’s requirement. Programs include investigation of fatigue, distortion, wear, fretting, corrosion, LME, hydrogen damage, elevated temperature failures of components produced by cold forming, forging, casting, welding, brazing and P/M processes.
Service failures of the components such as shafts, crankshafts, sliding bearings, cylinders, piping, pressure vessels, lifting equipment, mechanical fasteners, springs, dies, gears, boilers, heat exchangers, orthopedic devices, bridges and several type of other equipment parts and assemblies are carried out.
Premature failures investigated at site and a laboratory Microscopic examination with both optical and in-site chemical analysis of the parts as well as bulk analysis is carried out.
NDT services includes a full range of radiographic and ultrasonic methods plus all surface inspection methods currently in use in the industry. Portable hardness tester, with field microscopic studies are also made available to test exceptionally huge equipment at site.
Services offered includes test for weld corrosion, stress corrosion, weld quality, microstructure at base, HAZ, weld location, weld bead dimensions, presence of residual stress determination of ferrite content, grain boundary precipitates.
Material selection Advice is provided on material selection and corrosion aspects of design. Tests are carried out to confirm the chemical analysis of deposits to establish the cause of such failures. Services are offered in the following fields:
- Foundry
- Construction applications
- Case- hardening applications
- General engineering application
- Nitriding application
- Elevated temperature application
- Sub zero and low temperatures
- Corrosion application
