Metallurgy & Failure Investigations


RPC Metallurgy provides remedial assistance to industry on a broad range of material problems. We had carried out metallurgical investigations, crack and failure analysis, condition monitoring and corrosion control for more than forty years. State of the art equipment and a full metallographic lab allows for fast on-site and laboratory based material identification.

 


Qualifications
RPC's senior metallurgists can evaluate failure causes as well as recommend steps to prevent a re-occurrence. RPC has performed lab and on-site metallurgical services for more than 40 years, working in the pulp and paper, nuclear, fossil plants, oil and gas, marine, aerospace and fabrication industries.
