NeoTerra Demo Webinar
Wednesday, June 10, 2026 @ 12:00pm CST
NeoTerra streamlines sample preparation to achieve a fully etched finish with fewer preparation steps and without the use of harsh traditional etchants. During this session, our experts will introduce NeoTerra, demonstrate the workflow using this innovative technology, and discuss how laboratories can improve consistency, simplify preparation, and support safer working environments.
Whether your goal is to enhance lab safety, reduce preparation complexity, improve consistency, or stay current with the latest advancements in metallographic preparation, this is a webinar you won’t want to miss.
This webinar will cover:
- Introduction to NeoTerra technology
- How NeoTerra simplifies the etching workflow
- Reducing or eliminating harsh traditional etchants
- Recommended preparation workflows and best practices
- Demonstration of sample preparation using NeoTerra
- Achieving consistent, repeatable etched results
- Include a live Questions and Answers session

What is Metallography?
Originally Recorded on: February 26, 2025
Metallography is the branch of science dealing with the study of the constitution and structure of metals and alloys, its control through processing, and its influence on properties and behavior. It is an important tool in industrial quality control and failure analysis, as well as the development of new materials, applications and components.
- How and why metallography is used
- Typical applications
- Examples of good metallographic process
- Potential consequences of poor processes
- An overview of metallographic principles
- Key techniques to ensure success
- A live Questions and Answers session
Selective Etching of Ferrous Materials
Originally Recorded on: December 4, 2024
This webinar will look at all the common and some uncommon etchants for the identification of ferrous microstructures.
- Compare the effectiveness of different etchants at showing common microstructural features
- Review approaches for identification and measurement of retained austenite
- Show examples of etching for prior austenite grain boundaries
- Show methods for identification of carbides by selective etching

Microstructures of Hot and Cold Worked Metals and Alloys
Originally Recorded on: May 8, 2024
We have presented a wide variety of webinars looking at the microstructure of metals that have typically included both as cast and heat-treated microstructures. However, the process of deformation – or "working" the material - can greatly change the microstructure and is itself very important. This is especially true in manufacturing processes that do not include a heat treatment step after working. The effects of both cold-work and hot-work on the microstructure of a variety of different metals and alloys will be discussed.
- Definitions of hot and cold working
- Changes in microstructure
- Effect of various processing conditions
- Preparation and etching details
- Examples of typical processes and their effects
