When it comes to the safety, performance, and reliability of metal joints—especially in critical applications like defence and industrial systems—the quality of welds and brazes cannot be compromised. At TCR Engineering, our welding experts are equipped with the latest technology and qualifications to perform high-precision weld and braze inspections across India, ensuring components meet stringent code requirements and industry standards.
Why Braze and Weld Inspection Matters
Brazed joints are frequently used in components that require strong, leak-tight seals and reliable thermal or electrical conductivity. Common applications include heat exchangers, fuel systems, and various tube-and-socket assemblies. With high-temperature service conditions and the need for long-term durability, it’s vital that every braze is properly inspected.
Our team ensures all brazing work conforms to ASME SECTION IX Code and Standard—a globally recognized benchmark for welding and brazing qualification.
Our Inspection Capabilities
TCR’s inspection services are tailored to cover a wide range of part geometries and requirements:
Component Characteristics:
Tube and socket connections
Silver braze joints
Short part lengths
We specialize in inspecting compact assemblies, which are often more challenging due to limited access and joint complexity.
Inspection Methods Offered:
To thoroughly assess joint integrity, we apply the following advanced techniques:
Visual Inspection – For surface-level assessment and compliance.
Cross-Section Analysis – To reveal the internal structure and distribution of filler metal.
Peel Test – For evaluating joint strength and bond quality.
Push-Off Test – To measure shear strength.
Radiographic Testing (RT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – For detecting voids and assessing % void area with high accuracy.
Inspection Parameters Evaluated:
We inspect components based on specific customer requirements, focusing on:
Filler Metal Application and Distribution
Joint Clearance and Gap Uniformity
Voids and % Void Area
Shear Strength Performance
Certified Expertise and Sector Experience
Our inspections are led by Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) and professionals with equivalent qualifications. We've successfully inspected brazed components for clients in the defence sector, where precision and compliance are mission-critical.
Why Choose TCR Engineering?
Choosing TCR means benefiting from decades of metallurgical expertise, world-class inspection capabilities, and a team committed to quality. Whether you’re looking to validate new component designs or ensure existing assemblies meet specification, we deliver clear, standards-based insights.
