Economical choice for high volume mounting requirements.
In metallographic sample preparation, several essential hot mounting consumables are used to facilitate the process. Here are some of the key hot mounting consumables:
Mounting Resin: Mounting resin is a thermosetting material used to embed the metallographic samples in a mold before hot mounting. It provides support and stability to the samples during grinding and polishing. The resin should have good flow properties, low shrinkage, and compatibility with the mounting press.
Mounting Cups: Mounting cups, also known as mounting molds or mounting sleeves, are containers in which the samples are placed with the mounting resin. They come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different sample sizes and shapes. The cups should be heat-resistant and have smooth inner surfaces for easy removal of the mounted samples.
Release Agent: A release agent is applied to the mounting cup before pouring the resin and samples to facilitate easy removal of the mounted samples after curing. It prevents the resin from sticking to the cup's surface and ensures clean and undamaged sample surfaces.
Filler Materials: Filler materials such as metal powders or granules can be added to the mounting resin to enhance the thermal conductivity and improve heat dissipation during the hot mounting process. This helps to prevent overheating and distortion of the samples.
Mounting Press: A mounting press is used to apply heat and pressure to the mounting assembly, including the mounting cup and resin with the embedded samples. The press ensures proper curing of the resin and compaction of the samples for a solid and uniform mounting.
Cooling System: After hot mounting, a cooling system is often used to rapidly cool down the mounted samples. This helps to minimize thermal stresses and distortions, ensuring the samples retain their original microstructure.
It is important to select high-quality hot mounting consumables that are compatible with the materials being analyzed and the specific requirements of the sample preparation process. Proper selection and usage of these consumables contribute to achieving accurate and representative metallographic samples for subsequent analysis and examination.
