SMART CUT® Abrasive Grinding Belts
In the specialized field of metallography, where meticulous material analysis is critical, Abrasive Grinding Belts stand out as the optimal solution. SMART CUT® belts are specifically designed for precision tasks, delivering exceptional performance in material removal from even the most robust materials, such as heat-treated steel.
For high removal rates, especially on harder materials commonly encountered in metallography, SMART CUT® Abrasive Grinding Belts are indispensable. Their design and composition are meticulously engineered to address these challenging materials precisely, ensuring unparalleled accuracy in materials analysis.
SMART CUT® Silicon Carbide Grinding Paper Rolls
SMART CUT® Silicon Carbide Grinding Paper Rolls, meticulously designed for metallographic applications. These rolls and strips are optimal for the coarse and fine grinding of a wide variety of materials, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a cost-effective approach to metallographic sample preparation.
SMART CUT® Zirconia Grinding Discs
SMART CUT® Zirconia Grinding Discs with PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) Backing are expertly designed for metallography and sample preparation applications. These discs offer a robust solution for preparing, grinding, and finishing metal samples, ensuring high-quality results for detailed analysis.
For longer life, coarse grinding zirconia abrasive disks are especially useful. Zirconia abrasives are much more durable than either alumina or silicon carbide
Produced from high-quality zirconia alumina, these discs offer superior durability and aggressive cutting action, ideal for processing a range of metals.
Diamond Abrasive Flexible Sheet
DIAMOND CUP WHEELS For Sample Preparation
SMART CUT® Diamond Cup Wheels are designed for use with Struers, Buehler, and other thin section cutting and grinding machines. These wheels are ideal for grinding and thinning a wide range of materials, from geological minerals to microelectronic packages. Available in diameters ranging from 100mm to 203mm, SMART CUT® Diamond Cup Wheels offer flexibility to meet a variety of sample preparation needs. They come in both sintered (metal bond) and resin bond options, with diamond grit size ranges to suit different materials and applications. Custom specifications can be created to fit any machine, with fast lead times and no minimum order quantity.
SMART CUT® Diamond Cup Wheels are produced using high-quality diamond abrasives engineered for durability and long-lasting performance. This ensures consistent, reliable results with each use, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving both time and money. They offer exceptional precision, making them ideal for applications such as geological thin section preparation, metallurgical sample preparation, and more.
Diamond Foils
Metal Bond Diamond Discs
Metal Bond Diamond Discs, have diamond particles held firmly in place on a rigid backing by electroplated erosion resisting nickel for maximum bond strength and heat dissipation. A hard nickel alloy is used to rigidly bond a layer of sharp, blocky diamond to a steel backing. The sharp diamond particles cut cleanly with no edge rounding. Diamond Laps / Metal Bond Diamond Grinding Discs radically reduce the time required for material lapping/grinding process. Metal bond diamond grinding discs are available with either magnetic or PSA backing.
Resin Bond Diamond Discs
Resin Bond Discs are designed removal of material/sample scratches, chips. high spots, & as well as pre-polishing on a larger variety of materials. Using a propriety technique, a high concentration of premium diamond is loaded onto each disc to provide an extremely aggressive grinding rate yet leaves an exceptionally smooth surface finish. Each disc is color coded to easily determine the diamond size of the disc. These resin bond diamond discs are guaranteed to out-perform many cloth polishing discs using loose conventional abrasive or diamond compound/slurry finishing systems. Depending on the application and process these discs on average will last for 100-200 parts/samples & maintain consistent level of performance. These are perfect for hard materials such as metals, ceramics, refractories, cement, geological rocks, glass, optics, composites, and many other materials 35 and up Rockwell C scale of hardness. All discs come with a 3M pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that bonds to backing plates, or with magnetic backing to attach to steel plates. Must be used with coolant. Not recommended for heavy stock material removal
Silicon Carbide Paper
SMART CUT® Silicon Carbide Abrasive Paper is meticulously designed for preparing metallographic specimens, incorporating superior silicon carbide grains embedded in a resilient, waterproof backing for both dry and wet grinding. This versatile paper transitions smoothly from coarse cutting to fine polishing, ensuring that specimens are precisely prepared for microscopic analysis.
