substrate beneath the coating.  For metallurgical analysis, the coating itself and where it adheres to the substrate are the main focus. \n<br><br>Components of the substrate and coating as well as the manufacturing process can differ. These differences can change the products used for sample preparation (blades, grinding, polishing, mounting method, etc.).\n<br><br>With coatings often being the focus for analysis, it is important that internal structures are retained. Porosity, thickness, and adherence to the substrate are commonly examined. To preserve these characteristics samples are often mounted using epoxy systems prior to other preparation methods. Low-viscosity, castable systems are recommended with vacuum systems to mount the

When sectioning a thermal spray coating there are a few things to consider:<\/p><ul><li>Composition<\/li><li>Orientation\/Support<\/li><li>Structure<\/li><\/ul><p>To select a blade, it is important to know the material that makes up the sample. The blade used should be suitable for material that is more difficult to cut. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/isocut-hc-blade-7-x-025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IsoCut<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> wafering blades<\/a> are commonly employed, as coatings are sometimes deposited on nickel alloys or steel substrates. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/wafering-blde-7x025x12-15hc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series 15 HC precision blades<\/a> may be used on metallic coatings such as titanium. Sectioning time and blade life are influenced by blade choice.<br \/><br \/>The orientation of thermal spray coating when sectioning is important. Due to the ability of the coatings to delaminate or fracture, samples should be cut under compression. Ensure the blade is entering the coating and exiting through the substrate. The use of a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/double-saddle-chuck-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Double Saddle Chuck<\/a> supports both sides of the cut which can improve cut quality. When clamping it&#8217;s good practice to pad the chuck with a softer material. This can be done with small strips of polishing cloth adhered to the chucks clamping surface and ensures the ability to clamp firmly without damaging the coating. <br \/><br \/>If the sample is porous, friable, or has multiple sides coated, mounting the sample before sectioning would help support the internal structures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4521b774 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4521b774\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"mounting\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-647a5609 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"647a5609\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771463ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"771463ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thermal Spray Coating Mounting Tips<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b33d204 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4b33d204\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:100}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7767673 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7767673\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18753492 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"18753492\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23bdf692 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"23bdf692\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Thermal-Spray-Coating-Mounting-Tips-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19689\" alt=\"Mounting Tips\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Thermal-Spray-Coating-Mounting-Tips-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Thermal-Spray-Coating-Mounting-Tips-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Thermal-Spray-Coating-Mounting-Tips-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Thermal-Spray-Coating-Mounting-Tips.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55bc5fac e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"55bc5fac\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28b3d45e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28b3d45e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A low-viscosity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/ca\/products\/mounting\/accessories-consumables\/epoxy-mounting-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">epoxy system<\/a> can fill gaps in the coating, helping to hold the internal structures. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.buehler.com\/epoxy-systems#\/specFilters=15m!#-!244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EpoThin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> is recommended for optimal edge retention and infiltration though this requires a nine hour cure time.

At Buehler, our equipment supports hardness testing using four scales: Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, and Knoop. Depending on the sample and information required the scale needed can change.<\/p><p>While working with spray coatings several factors could affect the ability to measure the indent.<\/p><p>The surface finish of the specimen; flatness and scratches would hinder software auto-measuring indents. To reduce uneven surface finish, ensure that the samples are smooth before starting the polishing process.<\/p><p>Coating geometries do not always allow for easy hardness testing. Selection of test area can be difficult because of pores and limited area to indent. When testing, if an indent lays over a pore, it could lead to an abnormally shaped indent and require re-testing in another location. Using Epoxy to support the coating structure can help reduce the likelihood of this happening.<\/p><p>Indent tips may be hidden or obscured within pores and cracks. Ceramic coatings are especially susceptible to this. One way to abate these effects when indenting on a thermal spray coating is to use a lighter load. Lighter loads not only decrease the chances of cracking but also allow for the targeting of solid areas of coating material. Configure equipment with a 100x objective when measuring indents 20 microns or smaller.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25b27d23 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"25b27d23\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce94c6f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ce94c6f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b3476ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b3476ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Good contrast is important with indent measurements when analyzing samples comprised of an undercoat and overcoat having different levels of reflectance.
