The Most Versatile 3D Replicating System
Replication system facts
Highly accurate
Non-destructive
Flexible
Maximum user friendliness
Precise measurements
RepliSet and Transcopy replica foil is a complete system for replicating materials. It is designed to transfer the structure of a solid surface to a flexible, highly accurate, and stable replica. The result is an exact 3D copy of the surface, allowing microscopic examination and precise measurements. Our replicating system is accepted for ASTM standard E 1351 “Standard Practice for Production and Evaluation of Field Metallographic Replicas.”
How does Replication system support your Materialographic analysis
High Resolution and Form Stability
The Replication system produces replicas that are dimensionally correct and have an ultrafine detail reproduction as well as a plane back. RepliSet can replicate details with dimensions less than 0.1 micron over the whole replica surface, which can be of any size or shape. RepliSet has no shrinkage and can thus be used for highly accurate metrological measurements.Safe
The compounds used in RepliSet are non-flammable, solvent-free, and cleared for all normal modes of transportation, including air.Easy to use
With the easy-to-operate dispensing gun, perfect replicas can be produced the first time without the need for extensive operator experience. This allows the user to return to the lab with high quality replicas.
High Resolution and Form Stability
Safe
Easy to use
Fluid compound with a working life of five minutes and a curing time of 18 minutes at 25° C (77° F)
Fast Curing
Replicas can easily be removed from moderately reentrant geometry, without damage or distortion. Upon release, the material returns to its original shape.
High Tear Strength and Flexibility
Being water-repellent, RepliSet can provide replicas of humid surfaces and cure on surfaces with temperatures ranging from –10° C to +180° C.
Suitable in All Conditions
All replicas are suitable for 3D examination by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and non-contact metrological methods, such as interferometry, laser scanning, and shadowgraph projection.
Examination Options
Flexible high strength replicas can be taken from inaccessible surfaces, and can be removed from moderately re-entrant geometry
Replicas of any size and shape
High resolution down to 0.1 micron and virtually no shrinkage
High Resolution and Form Stability
The materials are designed specifically to be compatible with stainless steels and other engineering alloys and do not compromise future corrosion behavior after replication. The compounds are approved for use on stainless steel in nuclear plants.
Highly Compatible
Facts
Replication system
Struers’ equipment is in conformity with the provisions of the applicable international directives and their appurtenant standards. Struers’ products are subject to constant product development. Therefore, we reserve the right to introduce changes to our products without notice.
RepliSet
Replication system for non-destructive testing of a microstructure or a 3D structure. Fast curing two-part silicon rubber compound for flexible high resolution 3D replicas. For the 50 ml system, the hand-operated dispensing gun and the static mixing nozzles are used in combination with the 50 ml cartridges. For the 265 ml system, the hand-operated dispensing gun and the static mixing nozzles are used in combination with the 265 ml cartridges.
Transcopy Replica Foil
For making replicas of polished and etched surfaces. Self-adhesive reflective Transcopy replica foil creates a permanent replication of microstructures, cracks, and defects for future analysis in the laboratory.
