In-situ Metallography
 Onsite Examination and Evaluation of Plant
Equipment
– Equipment and piping operating at elevated
temperatures undergo microstructural changes which
can reduce original design properties and cause
unexpected failures
 Study of Replica under SEM, XRD, and optical
Microscopes at TCR laboratory in India 304SS Tube Creep Voids

 Field Metallography can be used as a tool to
determine remaining life, fitness for service, and
damage assessment from creep mechanisms or
fire damage.
– Useful in determining the cause for cracking, degree
of overheating, verification of alloy type or other
damage mechanisms manifested by microstructural
changes
 Applications in Heater Tubes, Boiler tubes, Steam
Piping & Tanks

Product and Material Sourcing
 Leveraging Relationships with customers at the Lab

 Defined Sourcing Guidelines:
– TCR initially seeks details on product type, drawing,
material specifications, required amount and quality with
target delivery date

– Visiting the marketplace, contacting manufacturers,
Customers of TCR, traders and steel producers, to
establish production capability, availability, quality and
Material Inspection
unit price.
Testing and QA
– Providing a FOB product price quote. TCR directly
negotiates with the supplier and provides a competitive TCR
bid. Expertise

– If price and quality parameters are acceptable by the
client, TCR instructs the manufacturer to produce an Sourcing
appropriate sample prototype for approval. The prototype
is shipped to the client.

– Once samples are approved, product order is placed with
all manufacturing suppliers. Payment and shipping
logistics are verified by TCR.
