Material review based on process data, corrosion rates and environment using softwares.
Project document review against industry standards.
The material selection process which used to be the job of a Material engineer, a Metallurgist or a Corrosion Specialist have widened today, to include other disciplines such as processes, operations, integrity etc. Thus the material selection process has become an integrated team effort which obviously calls for a multidiscipline approach.
The Material or Corrosion Specialist in today`s environment should play a via media role to balance the vested interests of other disciplines like design, cost control (finance and budget), process and operations.
Hands-on Practical Training of technicians in various metallographic methods (in house as well as on-site) such as cutting, grinding, polishing (including electrolytic), mounting, etching (including electrolytic). Training comprises of class room lectures followed by practical demonstration, training notes, examination and certification.
Interpretation microstructures of ferrous and non ferrous materials including exotic material such as inconel,duplex,super duplex , HK40 etc..
Consultancy for mechanical testing, chemical analysis, condition monitoring and remaining life assessment of industrial components.
In-situ replica metallography
Evaluation of microstructures of materials used in oil field, marine and industrial components for degradation, creep damage assessment and general microstructural condition and recommendation. Evaluation of microstructures is carried out after gold sputtering the replica slides.
Consultancy and recommendation of various types of Hardness and Ferrite testing for site welding and critical review of reports.
Consultancy and training of personnel in the proper use of XRF and OES analysers.based on guidelines and application procedures as per API Recommended Practice 578 for positive material identification. Structured training programmes can be conducted at client`s premises. The training programme would be conducted by API 578 certified trainer.
Provision of Mobile Optical Emission Spectrometer SPECTROTEST (TXC03), Germany to analyse most alloys including carbon, sulphur and phosphorus.
