Grinding & Polishing Instruments: for Metallographic Sample Preparation. After a metallographic sample has been mounted, grinding and polishing creates a flat and even surface.Any potential residue from the mounting process or damage from the sectioning process are ground off to expose the actual microstructure of the sample.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدMetallographic Polishing. Metallographic polishing, just like metallographic grinding, is the final stage in the sample preparation process of metals for subsequent analysis. Its purpose is to rectify the deformations caused by previous work steps (during sectioning and cutting). The following introduction provides some general considerations ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدMetallographic Mounting. The primary purpose of mounting metallographic samples is for convenience in handling samples of difficult shapes or sizes during the subsequent steps of metallographic preparation and examination. A secondary purpose is to protect and preserve extreme edges or surface defects during metallographic preparation.

The ZETA-2000 dispensing frequency, duration, starting time and total time can be programmed for manual or automated polishing.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدComet tails occur adjacent to inclusions or pores, when the motion between sample and polishing disk is unidirectional. Their characteristic shape earns the name "comet tails." A key factor in avoiding comet tails is the polishing dynamics. 1. During polishing, use the same rotational speed for the samples and the disk. 2. Decrease the force. 3.

During polishing, apply small amounts of GW2 if the cloth starts to dry out. Experiment to determine the best cloth for the sample. The sample should now be ready for ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدGrinding / Polishing / Etching Grinding and polishing is the final stage in the metallographic sample preparation process and consists of several steps. Each step uses finer abrasive than the previous one, the ultimate goal being to produce a deformation-free, scratch-free and highly reflective sample surface.

High quality sample preparation is a basic starting point for this technique. As already explained above, vibratory polishing is dedicated to fine diamond or oxide suspensions typically between 1 and 0.02 microns.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe choice of metallographic polishing cloth mainly depends on the material characteristics of the metallographic sample and the sample preparation goal, and has little to do with the metallographic polishing machine. To say that there is nothing wrong with the selection of metallographic polishing cloth and the metallographic polishing machine.
