Metallographic sample preparation: cutting, grinding, polishing and etching -- 100 CHF/sample
Metallographic sample preparation is a process of making metal samples witha high surface finish and gloss to allow the microstructure to be viewed undera microscope. The process involves cutting, setting, grinding, polishing and etching of the sample.
The sample should be of sufficient size to allow for the necessary machining processes such as cutting, setting, grinding and polishing, as well as to allow the desired microstructure to be observed under the microscope.
the surface of the sample shouldbe as flat as possible in order to obtain a high quality metallographic sample during the subsequent processing.
The sample surface should be as free as possible from other impurities, contaminants etc.to avoid affecting the metallographic sample preparation and analytical results.
