Microstructural Analysis via In-Place Metallography

Portable Hardness Testing
Hardness measurements are a vital assessment of the component’s condition. Acuren can measure the hardness of rotor components in the field using UCI or LEEB testers. Our equipment includes both GE and Proceq hardness testers. Hardness data is used to estimate the tensile strength of steels or to determine if a component has experienced thermal softening. Portable hardness testing is often used in conjunction with in-place metallography/replication to provide a thorough assessment of the metallurgical condition.Compressor Scale and Deposit Analysis
Scaling and deposit buildup can reduce compressor efficiency by disturbing air flow, and promote corrosion by acting as concentration sites for corrosive species. Compressor blade/vane pitting and corrosion fatigue is often the result, sometimes causing forced outages. Scale samples are collected during on-site inspections and taken back to our laboratory for analysis. We employ energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to identify constituents in a sample. Scale and deposit analysis can determine the nature, sources, and effects of deposits. We then suggest steps you can take to mitigate their formation.Chemical Analysis
Equipment operates best when all of the parts are made of the correct materials. Using an XRF gun, we quantitatively analyze alloying and trace elements in the component and compare the test results with the appropriate alloy specification.RELATED SERVICES | ||||
