Metal Bond Diamond Discs for Metallographic Sample Preparation: Performance, Benefits & Applications
Proper sample preparation is a key contributor to accurate metallographic analysis. Research on the microstructure of materials, the appearance of material defects, or their formation, and which heat treatment processes can lead to certain influences on the structure requires at least some stage of preparation, for which reliability is important. Usually, the first step of this procedure is grinding, and the grinding tools have a significant effect on the quality of the resulting specimen.
