Abstract
Metallography serves as an invaluable quality control technique in many welding and brazing operations in the energy field. It often supplements nondestructive testing processes such as dye-penetrant and radiography. Additionally, it can provide information ordinarily not obtainable by conventional inspection procedures. This paper describes a number of case histories illustrating the value of metallography in assuring integrity in the fabrication of metals and components in energy systems.
