Surface Replication

  The detailed inspection of surfaces is of major importance in modern engineering. Manufacturing defects and surface deterioration can lead to poor product performance and ultimately to failure.

JD7 implement a surface replication method which enables even the smallest of defects on all types of engineering surfaces to be viewed and examined.

Our systems can be utilised successfully submerged in water and even oil, allowing accurate surface/defect replicas to be achieved.

We design, manufacture and implement replication application methods and mechanisms to provide detailed information in situations where other methods are impractical. Our selected material replication allows extreme accuracy and reliability.
 
  Typical examples of where replication assessment is utilized:
  • Identification of pitting and defects on turbine blades. Information such as depth, shape, size and location of surface features.
  • Heat exchange crack identification. Excellent identification of defects in critical surfaces at locations where access is difficult.
  • Failure investigations
  • Surface damage assessment – replicas taken to laboratory for testing.
  • Internal and External pipe work. Information on defects obtainable.

Once a defect has been identified and replicated our material sampling machine may be introduced to sample or even remove the defect. This technique has many advantages. Please refer to material sampling for further info.
