Metallography Consumables

Consumables for Metallographic Sample Preparation and Testing

Buehler was founded in 1936 by Swiss immigrant, Adolph I. Buehler, who saw a need for products for metallographic sample preparation equipment and optical inspection instruments for the steel and automotive industries in the Midwest USA. Buehler is well established as the world’s leading supplier of materials preparation and analysis instruments, equipment, consumable supplies and application solutions.

Sectioning Consumables

Buehler sectioning and cutting consumables include abrasive and precision cutting blades, coolants and related accessories for preparing a wide range of materials. Selecting the right blade and coolant helps improve cutting efficiency while minimizing heat and surface deformation, providing a quality starting surface for subsequent metallographic sample preparation.

Mounting Consumables

Buehler mounting consumables include hot compression compounds, epoxy and acrylic systems, UV-curing resins, molds, support clips and other mounting accessories. These solutions help laboratories produce uniform specimens with the edge retention, flatness and sample support needed for efficient grinding, polishing and analysis.

Grinding & Polishing Consumables

Buehler grinding and polishing consumables support the preparation of high-quality specimen surfaces for metallographic analysis. A properly selected grinding and polishing process helps laboratories efficiently remove sectioning damage, minimize deformation and produce a surface suitable for microstructural examination and materials analysis.

Image & Analysis Accessories

Complete your metallographic imaging and analysis system with microscope and imaging accessories designed to support specimen viewing, measurement and quantitative analysis. Buehler offers digital cameras, motorized stage kits, stage micrometers, computers and monitors for use with microscopy and OmniMet^® imaging solutions.

Hardness Test Blocks

Wilson^® hardness test blocks provide a trusted reference for verifying the accuracy and performance of hardness testing systems. Buehler offers calibrated test blocks for Rockwell^®, Brinell, Vickers and Knoop testing, with Wilson test blocks calibrated in Buehler’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory to support consistent, traceable hardness testing.
