Prepolishing disc CAMEO^®DISK DMD*

The LAM PLAN CAMEO®DISK DMD is the first diamond disc on the market that allows polishing ranges on ductile materials without abrasive paper.

CAMEO®DISK: a patented honeycomb cell structure

Grinding and polishing are key steps in the preparation of a metallographic sample. It is the quality of these steps which will condition and optimise the rest of the process. At the end of the grinding step, the sample’s aspect must be uniform and regular without altering the inherent flatness and the material. The CAMEO®DISK’s performances in terms of stock removal reduce the work time on the part, thereby guaranteeing the sample’s inherent flatness, an indispensable condition to succeed with your metallographic analyse.

Stock removal

The honeycomb structure of CAMEO®DISK reduces the surface area in contact with the specimen to be polished. This reduces the pressure required to grind the specimen.

Reproducibility

The profile of the honeycomb cells was specially designed to optimise the circulation of the lubricant from one cavity to another. The abrasion residues are evacuated, guaranteeing a constant abrasive power and therefore a regularity of the result throughout the grinding and polishing steps.

Preparation quality

For a process usually performed with several SiC abrasive papers, LAM PLAN proposes you a single, reusable disc: the CAMEO®DISK. Contrary to SiC abrasive papers, CAMEO®DISK constant abrasion prevents the formation of deep disturbed layers during the first few seconds of grinding.

CAMEO^®DISK DMD

New prepolishing disc.
The latest addition to the LAM PLAN range is a grinding disc designed for the preparation of ductile materials for metallography (aluminium and aluminium alloys, copper alloys, etc.).

LAM PLAN CAMEO®DISK DMD is the first diamond disc on the market that allows polishing ranges on ductile materials without abrasive paper.

The CAMEO®DISK DMD uses a new version* of our honeycomb structure combined with our expertise in abrasives. We have optimised the efficiency of the roughing stages for the most ductile metal alloys.

The performance of the new CAMEO®DISK DMD reduces disturbance at the grinding steps, enabling rapid transition to the polishing steps. It is a durable substrate that can be re-used many times with consistent efficiency.

Guidance

To guarantee consistent results, the CAMEO®DISK need to be adjusted periodically. Various solutions are available; please contact your advisor.

Grinding ductile materials, technical issues.

Today, in most cases, the grinding of ductile materials is a time-consuming and expensive step, carried out using a series of SiC abrasive papers with different grains.
The disadvantages of this technique are as follows:

The need for different grains to prepare the surface for polishing
Very short and inconsistent abrasive paper life
Extensive handling
High long-term cost
Large quantities of waste.
