What is a metallographic cutting machine?

09-02-2022

The metallographic cutting machine is the cutting equipment used in the preparation of samples during metallographic analysis. Due to the different requirements of metallographic sample preparation, the feeding direction, clamping direction, feeding speed and cooling when cutting samples are required. There are certain requirements for the method, so there are various forms of metallographic cutting machines designed for this preparation process.

The mechanical properties of the sample to be tested are not only related to its chemical composition, but also closely related to its metallographic structure. Metallographic inspection is an indispensable and important means of controlling and evaluating product quality, and is an important method for researching materials, new processes and improving the intrinsic quality of materials in scientific research.

Metallographic analysis methods have been applied in the analysis of solid materials including metals, ceramics, plastics, circuit boards, PCB boards, ores and other types of samples, and have also been widely used in quality inspection, failure analysis and solid material research laboratories.

To carry out metallographic analysis, it is necessary to prepare samples that can be used for microscopic examination - metallographic samples. Usually, the preparation of metallographic specimens goes through several steps of sampling, mounting, grinding and polishing. Every step should be done with care, as the physical presence at any stage may affect the final result, as this may create an illusion of organization and lead to incorrect conclusions. The preparation of metallographic specimens is done by cutting machines, mounting machines, and grinding/polishing machines. The interception of metallographic samples is an important link in the preparation of metallographic samples. Depending on the shape and material of the part, choose the appropriate method to cut. Metallographic cutting machines are mainly widely used in the interception of metallographic samples, because of their strong adaptability and relatively high cutting accuracy, resin grinding wheels can cut soft metal parts such as copper, aluminum and alloys and hard metal parts such as Quenched carbon steel, high speed steel. Diamond cutting discs can cut superhard materials such as cemented carbide, ceramics, etc.
