Real-time process/material monitoring
Track microstructural condition throughout operational life for earlier, better decisions.
Overview
Real-time microstructural insight in service
In-situ metallography enables direct observation of metal behaviour under working conditions, allowing prompt detection of material degradation, phase changes, and structural alterations. Integrating this technique in maintenance and quality control helps proactively identify and resolve potential failures, improve performance, and extend component life.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited practices and reporting.
