Residual Life Assessment

Residual Life Assessment

Close
In SolcoLab® we use international rules and standards for calculating, with high precision levels, the life assessment of parts and welded parts, considering as a first analysis point its type and equipment operational parameters.

Material and corrosion analysis

Material and corrosion analysis

Close
For knowing the effects that corrosion has caused in your facilities, in SolCoLab® we analyse almost any ferrous material, alloys and welding through chemical analysis and specialized microscopy.

FAD Analysis

FAD Analysis

Close
Our crack evaluation test allows us to know how long the safety operation of the material and/or welding is in your site of facility.

Special Repairs Supervision

Special repairs supervision

Close
Our specialized professional and technical team will carry out a thorough repairing and mechanized check and supervision, as in HVOF, HVAF and ARC-SPRAY coating.

Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis

Close
Our highly qualified professional and technical team and with extensive experience in failure analysis, will give you a range of possible failure causes, based on technical, mechanical, metallurgical and design arguments.

Being SolCoLab® an external company of the affected organization, we are in a prefect position to give an objective and pragmatic opinion.

PMI: Chemical analysis by optical emission, with carbon measuring

PMI: chemical analysis with carbon measuring

Close
In SolCoLab® we measure the chemical composition of ferrous materials, using LIBS technique (laser induced rupture spectroscopy).

We have exclusive portable equipments, capable of measuring elements such as carbon, sulphur and phosphorus, commonly used in Smelt companies and Workshops, besides of applications in dry and humid environments.

Microhardness Control

Microhardness Control

Close
Sometimes, a surface analysis does not allow to detect complex failures. Our technology can evaluate deep symptoms, with detailed tests applied over the studied part.

Metallographic Analysis

Metallographic Analysis

Close
A Metallographic analysis is not just used for detecting failures, is also useful for knowing the component residual life, alloy composition, resistance, conditions and type in new or used parts. Please trust our expert team and eliminate conjectures.

Mechanical Tensile test

Mechanical Tensile test

Close
A simple and traditional test of a uniaxial traction allows us to obtain the analysed material properties. Some of these parameters are elastic limit, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation.

Mechanical bend test

Mechanical bend test

Close
The bend tests usually are used in qualification procedure and welders. Is the most simple test that allows us to measure the penetration and quality of a welded joint.

Charpy-V Mechanical impact test

Charpy-V Mechanical impact test

Close
Be aware regarding impact resistance of different alloys. The absorbed energy from an impact is the measure that tenacity has. That measure is very important in applications when conjugating resistance, hardness and impact.

Strain Gauges

Strain Gauges

Close
In SolCoLab® we make deformation analysis and determination, cut and main efforts, through multipoint wireless remote monitoring, which allows us measuring in hard-to-reach areas, even if they are rotatory or located in areas under unfavourable temperature conditions.

PMI RFX Chemical analysis

PMI RFX Chemical analysis

Close
In SolCoLab® we measure the chemical composition of ferrous materials through X Ray Fluorescence, which allows us to collect information in a very short time, since it does not need a great preparation level of the surface to be studied.

Our technology allows us to identify in a few seconds and according to international rules, the steel type or alloy.

Macro-hardness Control

Macro-hardness Control

Close
We use it for measuring conditions in which is the material; in SolCoLab® we carry out a piece general analysis, characterizing it mechanically and evaluating if it is necessary some treatment for improving its properties.

Coating Hardness Control

Coating Hardness Control

Close
In SolCoLab® we have micro durometers which can measure hardness of alloys with 86.10.4 tungsten carbides and 80.20 chrome with total precision and efficiency.

Metallographic Replication

Metallographic Replication

Close
We are aware conditions for taking samples and replications are not always that favourable; tub or curved pieces, low lighting places or risky conditions due to height, many times prevent a correct replication execution.

That is why in SolCoLab® we have developed a technique that mixes engineering and ability for carrying out a perfect polish and attack and obtaining an excellent replication of your materials.

Boroscopy

Boroscopy

Close
In SolCoLab® we inspect difficult access cavities and holes since we count on needed technology and professional team to make inspections far from the human eye.

Our equipments and techniques are particularly efficient in boroscopy in turbines, plants and systems related to energy generation.

Roughness Measure

Roughness Measure

Close
Roughness is one of the most relevant parameters in coating application, either in metallical or epoxy coating. Adherence of these coatings directly depends on roughness quality.

ultrasound

Ultrasound

Close
SolCoLab® is capable of practically evaluating any material or welding. Our professional staff will analyse damages or defects inside of the piece through ultrasound.

Surface Analysis

Surface Analysis

Close
We inspect surface damages due to shocks, corrosion, cracks, breakage, pitting, bites, scratches.

Our SolCoLab® professional team will eliminate conjectures, assisting in making decisions in relation to maintenance, repairing or replacement of the analysed piece.

Repairing Procedures Development according to ASME, API, AWS.

Repairing Procedures Development according to ASME, API, AWS

Close
SolCoLab® has a needed methodology and procedures for compliance with national and international requirements in developing repairing procedures.

We reduce the maximum costs due to rejection, reprocessing and low quality, evaluating suppliers and metallical and polymer materials used in engineering applications.

Welding procedures qualifications and development according to ASME, API, AWS

Thermal Treatment procedures development

Thermal Treatment procedures development

Close
The heat treatment is a relevant part of the welding and/or production procedure. Stress relief, quench and tempering normalized are the typical heat treatment that we can recommend and design for each part on each situation.
