Non-destructiveMaterials Examination by Advanced Replica Technique For many applications it is either required or more economical to carry out the testing in a non-destructive way in the field. By means of Struers lightweight portable equipment and advanced replica technique, a high quality replica of the prepared surface can be achieved, allowing a complete evaluation of the surface. For examination of microstructures we can provide a complete range of portable equipment for non-destructive preparation, from basic grinding through mechanical or electrolytic polishing and etching. The Transcopy replica technique can transfer the microstructure from flat surfaces, while the RepliSet system can be used for examination of 3D ge-ometry as well. A microstructure or 3D geometry can be examined directly using a small portable microscope. On-site materialographic preparation and examination are particularly applicable to quality control, inspection- and failure analysis in power stations, aircraft, chemical plants etc
