Replica investigation

In Situ Metallographic Examination

Discover how replica testing enables metallographic examinations without the need for destructive removal of equipment.

Replica investigation creates a print of the material’s microstructure on a prepared surface, preserving the integrity of the material. This technique is particularly suitable for monitoring creep-induced structural changes.

Preparation Process & Laboratory Analysis of Replica Testing

Coating or paint layers are removed (over a surface of about 10 x 10 cm.), and the surface is ground and polished to a mirror finish. Etching reveals the microstructure before creating a replica (a negative) using acetate foil and acetone.

The replica print is studied in the laboratory for detailed examination and the results are reported.
