Choosing an incorrect blade can lead to an improper wear rate and possibly alter the existing microstructure. An abrasive blade is entirely made up of abrasive that is bound together by a 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><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><p>Nickel is an abrasion-resistant material that can be difficult to section efficiently while minimizing subsurface damage. Buehler&#8217;s superalloy blades are specially formulated to sectioning these alloys efficiently while minimizing

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision cutters<\/a> are used in metallographic preparation of nickel when cutting samples that are small or delicate. Precision blades don&#8217;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 nickel 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).<\/p><p>Additional benefits of using a precision cutter are a lower load is applied and consequently, less heat is generated, reducing the amount of damage.<\/p><p>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><p>Cubic boron nitride (CBN) wafering blades are an effective way to section nickel alloy components with a precision saw. Abrasive blades can be an alternative to the CBN wafering blades. When using abrasive blades there are some things to keep in mind. Cleaning out the recirculation tank will have to be done more frequently. The external recirculation tank is recommended when using the IsoMet High Speed. The diameter of abrasive blades is reduced as the blade wears while cutting. When too small to cut a new blade can be put on the saw.<\/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\"

Intricately shaped samples can be mounted to create uniform shapes allowing automation of the sample preparation process.<br><br>Mounting samples also protects and preserves edges and 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 350<sup>o<\/sup>F and pressures around 4200 PSI are common for hot compression mounting.<br><br>Sample geometry and properties can determine the appropriate method for mounting aluminum samples. Use castable mounting when samples are thin or deformed easily. Samples such as these tend to be sensitive to high pressures.

As a general guideline, for platen size of 8\u201d a burst setting of 3 is a good starting point, for sizes of 10&#8243; and 12&#8243; 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<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cfa707a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5cfa707a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-491908f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"491908f9\" 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=\"494\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/10\/Burst_Stadium.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6720\" alt=\"Burst Dispensing System\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/10\/Burst_Stadium.png 494w, https:\/\/www.buehler.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/10\/Burst_Stadium-296x300.png 296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/>\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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dc333c2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4dc333c2\" 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-b2f5879 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b2f5879\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c10a271 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c10a271\" 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>Loads listed in grinding and polishing methods are recommendations for one 1.25&#8243; mounted specimen.

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><p>Equipment capabilities vary in levels of automation and documentation. Some pieces are integrated with hardness testing software.
