| Summary: | In many cases related to critical infrastructures, we find equipment that is extremely important from a safety point of view and key safety-critical components in them. Such parts are turbine blades, engine elements of jet aircraft, as well as high-pressure steam lines of power plants and pressure equipment for liquid gases. In the case of safety critical components, non-destructive and the destructive tests are indispensable. The damage to these components can cause catastrophic failures that need to be avoided. During the inspection of the components, microscopy tests give information about macrostructure and microstructure. Carrying out the tests consists of several steps, during which it is necessary to follow the relevant standards. During the examination of macrostructure, conditions that may lead to premature failure and breakage of the component can be detected. Getting to know the microstructure can provide information about manufacturing, welding, or microstructural defects, which can be a key issue from the point of view of safe operation. |
