Metal Replication is designed to transfer the structure of a solid surface to a flexible, highly accurate and stable replica. The result is an exact 3D copy of the surface, allowing microscopic examination and precise measurements as per ASTM standard E 1351 “Standard Practice for Production and Evaluation of Field Metallographic Replicas”.
The use of high-resolution replicas allows otherwise inaccessible surfaces and irregularities in critical machinery in service to be examined and measured under laboratory conditions. Typical applications are on-site non-destructive testing in connection with quality control, inspection, maintenance, reconditioning and failure analysis, typically within high tech engineering industries including power generation (fossil fuel or nuclear), aerospace, offshore industry, etc.
