Replica-Q5

In-situ metallography is used on vessels or structures that have been exposed to temperatures in excess of their design limits, and materials that have been in a corrosive atmosphere. What does in-situ metallography reveal?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Displays flow pattern lines indicating hot or cold working

• Grain structure is viewable

• Characteristic structure such as pearlite’s lamellae

• Exposes whether alloys have segregated during solidification

• Microscopic characteristics give insight into macroscopic properties
