Advanced Materials Diagnostic & Research Group
With the rising demand for the materials testing, we provide expertise to analyse metal quality, degradation & failures
PROJECTS:
With the rising demand for materials testing, we provide expertise to analyze metal quality, degradation & failures. Accredited with ISO/IEC 17025, we assure our test methods which include metallographic examination, material characterization test, mechanical tests, high-temperature creep test, steam oxidation tests, wear & erosion tests, etc, are traceable to ASTM, ASME, and ISO standards.
Currently, we focus on the database development for Boilers, Pressure Vessels & Gas Turbines. Take a look at our detailed projects:
Material Database Development (Boilers, Pressure Vessels & Gas Turbines)
We focus on the following areas:
Condition Based Monitoring (CBM)
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
Material Integrity Analysis (MIA)
Remaining Life Assessment (RLA)
New Inspection Techniques ((Non-Invasive &
Non-Destructive) Our techniques include:
Robotic Boroscope Inspection to detect internal pipe/tube defects.
Scanning Force Microscopy to detect creep damage & volumetric measurement.
Development of Material Diagnostic & Early Detection System
This development program includes:
High Temperature Creep Life Assessment & Creep Crack Growth Analysis
Acoustic Emission Measurement System
Real-time monitoring system for boiler tubes or steam piping performance (test parameters: temperature, water/steam flow, displacement, etc.)
Mechanical test system & environmental ageing test system for composite cross arm assemblies.
Damage Control, Defect Analysis, Repair & Refurbishment Procedure
It includes:
Simulation Test For High-Temperature Steam Oxidation.
Simulation Test For Stress Corrosion Cracking
Repair procedures for ex-service or thermally aged P91 steam piping to extend serviceability
.
Rejuvenation heat treatment for ex-service turbine blades using Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) method.
Exploration of New Inspection Techniques
We analyze and develop new inspection techniques covering both non-destructive and destructive techniques
