Guide to Mounting

Specific operations

During metallographic sample preparation, the cut samples are usually mounted in a resin into cylindrical shapes before polishing. While mounting may seem as an auxiliary step in sample preparation...

Metallography of Copper Alloys

Copper has been historically used by humans since tens of thousands of years ago and hence has a historical significance is the domain of metallurgy. Being a metal, whose alloys have been explored ...

Metallography of Fiber reinforced composites

Composites bring the advantages of two different material domains together. A material forms the matrix and another material forms the reinforcing phase, combinedly resulting in a composite. Depend...

Preparing flat metallographic samples

Specific operations

Metallography of some samples (with phases of varying hardness, with coatings, with intricate contours etc) demands flat polished surfaces with no form of relief or edge rounding. However, the proc...

Right sectioning technology for your metallographic sample preparation

Specific operations

Sectioning, or cutting, involves extracting a piece of a sample with the cross-section of interest to be polished and imaged under a microscope. For metallography, dedicated machines are available...

Metallography for Additive Manufacturing

Over the last few years, Additive manufacturing(AM) has been sculpting the manufacturing domain in revolutionary ways. Attracted by the various advantages including the countless design possibiliti...

Metallography of Aluminium

Aluminium alloys offer light-weight solutions for structural applications making them widely used in the Aerospace and Automotive industry. Their high specific strength positions them advantageou...

Metallography of Steels

Steels are widely used in a variety of engineering applications ranging from civil to aerospace and automotive industries. The simplicity to manufacture, the cost and the well-studied properties of...

Metallography of Titanium

Titanium alloys are known for their high specific tensile strength and toughness, and corrosion resistance among non-ferrous alloys. Unlike aluminum alloys, titanium alloys are resistant to This ma...
