All sectioning should be performed wet, with an ample flow of coolant<\/a> directed into the cut. Wet cutting will produce a smoother surface finish than a dry cut. Using coolant will also guard against surface damage caused by overheating and mechanical strains. Reducing damage while sectioning is important. Mechanical damage can penetrate deep into the structure, this can be difficult to remove in later preparation steps. There are two main types of cutting tools offered: Abrasive and Precision saws.<\/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

Abrasive blades<\/a> have different bond strengths and are recommended based on the efficiency of their bond strength and abrasive type with different materials. Choosing an incorrect blade can lead to an improper wear rate and thermal damage, possibly altering the microstructure. An abrasive blade is entirely made up of abrasive that is bound together by resin. When used, blades get smaller in size until they can no longer cut. A new blade can then be put on the sectioning piece of equipment to make additional cuts.<\/p>

Abrasive wheels\/blades should be selected according to the material type and size of the part to being cut. When cutting ferrous materials, knowing the hardness of your material can help narrow down the blade to select. In some instances, like Buehler’s, blades are grouped by the material hardness. Generally the harder the steel the softer the blade bond, this ensures that worn abrasive is broken away and fresh abrasive is revealed to continue efficient sectioning. Softer steel can be cut with a harder bond blade which lends itself to extended blade life.<\/p>

The size of the abrasive blade also affects cutting parameters. Larger, thicker blades remove more material but also generate more heat than a thinner blade. To reduce the heat produced by blades the feed rates should be lowered.<\/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

Precision cutters<\/a> are used in metallographic preparation of ferrous materials when cutting samples that are small or delicate. Precision blades don’t break down as they are being used. On the outer edge of the blade there is a section where abrasive has been bonded with metal alloy and if taken care of one wafering blade can outlast a box of abrasive blades. Wafering blades can be used with ferrous material for more difficult cuts including making a precise cut close to a feature of interest, or when it is critical to reduce the width of a cut (kerf loss).

An additional benefit of using a precision cutter is a lower load is applied and consequently less heat is generated, reducing the amount of damage.

Abrasive blades are also made for precision cutters. They can be used when potential for blades breaking is high. This could be if you have a difficult to clamp part, have a part that might shift during sectioning or you have more variability in the process (ex: multiple operators).<\/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

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMounting metallographic samples can allow automation and increase ease of handling during the subsequent steps of metallographic preparation and examination. Intricately shaped samples can be mounted to create uniform shapes allowing automation of the sample preparation process.

Mounting samples also protect and preserve edges or surface defects during metallographic preparation. The method of mounting should in no way alter the microstructure of the specimen. Pressure and heat are the most common sources of injurious effects. Temperatures around 350o<\/sup>F and pressures around 4000 PSI are common for hot compression mounting.

Sample geometry and properties can determine the appropriate method for mounting ferrous samples. Use castable mounting when samples are thin or deformed easily. Samples such as these tend to be sensitive to high pressures. If samples are not sensitive to pressure hot compression mounting can be a time and money saver.\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

For general use, PhenoCure\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> is a sound choice. EpoMet\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> or Diallyl Phthalate<\/a> exhibit better edge retention relative to PhenoCure and would be good options if this criterion is a priority. In the event that a transparent mold is of interest, consider TransOptic<\/a>. Being a thermoplastic, TransOptic can be heated and held at temperatures between 105-115o<\/sup>C for around 20 minutes to soften the mount and allow sample removal.

For electron microscopy, ProbeMe<\/a>t is a suitable copper-based conductive media. If copper content is of interest in the sample KonductoMet\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> is a carbon-filled conductive alternative to ProbeMet.<\/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

Careful selection can ensure media meets mounting needs regarding timing, viscosity, temperature, and shrinkage. Acrylic systems can increase throughput with quick curing times between 5 and 30 minutes. Though quicker in curing, sample adhesion and viscosity of acrylics can sometimes be lacking especially with more intricate shapes. This is where epoxy systems can help. With longer working times mixed epoxy can be used with a vacuum system to help penetration levels in intricate geometries.<\/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

Hard steels are usually not as challenging to prepare as soft steels. Some harder alloys can sometimes be prepared with three-step methods.<\/p>

Using Buehler’s Burst dispensing system<\/a> can conserve diamonds and improve consistency.<\/p>

The ideal rate for the Burst dispensing system changes with the size of the platen and the polishing cloth that is being used. As a general guideline, for platen size of 8\u201d a burst setting of 3 is a good starting point, for sizes of 10″ and 12″ set the burst system to 4 and adjust as needed. Some experimentation may be required to determine optimal settings to ensure sufficient abrasive and wetting of the cloth. Burst dispensers are also capable of dispensing extenders simultaneously with diamond, if desired.<\/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

Loads listed in grinding and polishing methods are recommendations for one 1.25″ mounted specimen. If using central force during preparation the force listed should be multiplied by the number of samples being polished.

Good for martensitic bainitic steels. Many wetting agents have been used, sodium tridecylbenzene sulfonate is one of the most successful (the dodecyl version is easier to obtain and works as well). Use at 68-212\u00b0F [20-100\u00b0C]. Swab or immerse sample for 2-60 minutes. Etch in ultrasonic cleaner (see ref. 2, pg 219-223). Additions of 0.5 CuCl2 per 100m\u2113 solution or about 1% HCl have been used for higher alloy steels to produce etching. Room temperature etching most common.

Depending on the alloy and application the goal of analysis can differ. Some common goals of the analysis are porosity, contaminants, grain structure, phase percent, and dimensional measurements. Dimensional measurements can be taken and saved using one of the lower levels of our OmniMet\u00ae<\/sup> software<\/a>. Though for other analysis and exporting needs more advanced versions of the OmniMet software maybe required.<\/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

At Buehler, the equipment offered is made to perform at least one of the following scales: Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Knoop. If utilizing a scale previously mentioned there are standards for the method of testing. Standards such as the ones listed in the table are good places to reference the proper method of testing for the scales. Requirements for equipment, samples, testing methods and more are described within that can help determine the correct scale.<\/p>

Equipment capabilities vary in levels of automation and documentation. Some pieces are integrated with hardness testing software. Software such as Buehler’s DiaMet<\/a> can assist with testing parts more efficiently, accuracy and result documentation. This can be especially helpful when a large amount of indents must be done on one part.<\/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
