Steel Image

<p>Steel Image provides specialized metallurgical failure investigations, on-site diagnostics, and professional training:</p><ul><li><b>Metallurgical Failure Analysis:</b> Forensic investigation of broken components (including rotating shafts, gears, fasteners, boiler piping, and pressure boundary hardware) to diagnose ductile overload, brittle fracture, fatigue cracking, stress corrosion cracking, and hydrogen embrittlement. Standard service is two weeks, with rush (24-hour) and expedited (3–4 day) turnaround options.</li><li><b>Field Metallography & On-Site Crack Diagnosis:</b> In-situ non-destructive surface preparation, polishing, etching, and microscopic replica evaluation to determine crack morphology and asset integrity without removing components from service.</li><li><b>Laboratory Metallurgy:</b> Optical microscopy, fractography, chemical analysis, microhardness profiling, and mechanical property testing.</li><li><b>Technical Training:</b> Hands-on and instructor-led courses for engineers, maintenance staff, and inspectors, including "Introduction to Examining Fractures" and training based on the book <i>Decoding Mechanical Failures</i>.</li></ul>
